- Grace Period
- The interval between graduation or the termination of at least half-time studies and the beginning of loan repayment. The grace period on a Federal Perkins Loan is nine months. During this time, payments need not be made and interest will not accrue. When the grace period expires, principal and interest will begin to accrue and the first payment will be due one month later.
