Re: Federal Perkins Loan Program Status of Default as of June 30, 2003 (the Orange Book)

The Federal Perkins Loan Program Status of Default as of June 30, 2003, otherwise known as the Orange Book, contains data that was taken from information submitted by institutions on the 2002-2003 Fiscal Operations Report and 2004-2005 Application to Participate (FISAP). This report provides a listing of institutions participating in the Federal Perkins Loan Program during the 2002-2003 award year that ended on June 30, 2003, including a "cohort default" rate for each institution. It also provides state figures at the end of each state listing and national figures at the end of the report.

This listing includes the following data:

Column A, Number of Borrowers Who Entered Repayment Status in 2001-2002

Source: FISAP, Part III, Section D, Field 1.1 or Section E, Field 2.3

Column B, Borrowers from Column A in Default on June 30, 2003

Source: FISAP, Part III, Section D, Field 1.2 or Section E, Field 2.4

Column C, Cohort Default Rate

Source: Column B Divided by Column A

Column D, Total Number of Borrowers in Default 240 Days or More

Source: FISAP, Part III, Section C, sum of Fields 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4, Column B

Column E, Total Principal Amount Outstanding on Loans in Default 240 Days or More

Source: FISAP, Part III, Section C, sum of Fields 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4, Column D

For institutions that had less than 30 borrowers enter repayment during the 2001-2002 award year, Columns A and B report the aggregate number of borrowers for the three most recent award years. These numbers are used to calculate the default rate reported in Column C.

Columns D and E also include borrowers who are in default 270 days or more for loans repayable in quarterly installments.
