Perkins Loan Portfolio Liquidation A school must liquidate its Perkins Loan portfolio when:

the school voluntarily withdraws from the Perkins Loan Program, the school is no longer advancing Perkins Loan funds to students, or the school’s participation is terminated by the Department due to loss of eligibility or revocation of a provisional certification.

Additionally, if a school is closing and wishes to provide an orderly withdrawal from the Perkins Loan Program, these procedures may be followed in conjunction with the guidance provided by the Department of Education’s School Participation Team. A list of the Regional School Participation Teams is included as an attachment to this announcement.

Several steps must occur in order to liquidate a Perkins Loan portfolio.
