Types of Financial Aid

Loan Programs

Federal Perkins Loans

Funds from this program are made available to the students with exceptional need and who submit their FAFSA applications by March 1.

Sign your Perkins Loan Promissory Note: Check your Winthrop email account for notification asking you to electronically sign your Promissory Note.  The required PIN is the same one used to complete the FAFSA online.  If you do not have a PIN, you can request a PIN from this site.  Once the Office of Financial Aid is notified that the Promissory Note has been successfully completed, the Perkins Loan will be finalized.

Complete your Perkins Loan Exit Counseling: The federal government requires all Perkins Loan borrowers to complete an exit interview whenever his/her enrollment drops below half-time.  Transcripts and/or diplomas will be held until this interview has been successfully completed.
