"The Perkins Loan is a good option for students who do not have much credit history. Students do not need a cosigner for this loan. They are automatically qualified based upon their FAFSA application. The interest rate for this loan is 5%, which will remain steady throughout the duration of the loan. After taking out a Perkins Loan students will be given nine months to begin repaying the loan or loans."

I'll be graduating from Alfred Univeristy with my bachelors in Psychology and a minor in English. I plan on going on to grad school at NYU to obtain my masters in Clinical Psychology. I love English, which is why I always put 100% into any essay that I complete.
