DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA Nos. 84.038, 84.033, and 84.007]

Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, and Federal 
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Programs

ACTION: Notice of the 2009-2010 award year deadline dates for the 
campus-based programs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the 2009-2010 award year deadline 
dates for the submission of requests and documents from postsecondary 
institutions for the campus-based programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study
(FWS), and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
programs are collectively known as the campus-based programs.
    The Federal Perkins Loan Program encourages institutions to make
low-interest, long-term loans to needy undergraduate and graduate
students to help pay for their education.
    The FWS Program encourages the part-time employment of needy
undergraduate and graduate students to help pay for their education and
to involve the students in community service activities.
    The FSEOG Program encourages institutions to provide grants to
exceptionally needy undergraduate students to help pay for their cost
of education.
    The Federal Perkins Loan, FWS, and FSEOG programs are authorized by
parts E and C, and part A, subpart 3, respectively, of title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
    Throughout the year, in its ``Electronic Announcements,'' the 
Department will continue to provide additional information for the 
individual deadline dates listed, via the Information for Financial Aid 
Professionals (IFAP) Web site at http://www.ifap.ed.gov.
    Deadline Dates: The following table provides the 2009-2010 award
year deadline dates for the submission of applications, reports, and
waiver requests for the campus-based programs. Institutions must meet
the established deadline dates to ensure consideration for funding or a
waiver, as appropriate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
The deadline for electronic submissions is 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the applicable deadline date. Transmissions must be completed and accepted by 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline.
Paper documents that are sent through the U.S. Postal Service must be postmarked by the applicable deadline date.

Paper documents that are hand delivered by a commercial courier must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on the applicable deadline date. The Secretary may consider on a case-by-case basis the effect that a major disaster, as defined in section 102(2) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122(2)) or another unusual circumstance has on an institution in meeting the deadlines. Proof of Mailing or Hand Delivery of Paper Documents If you submit paper documents when permitted by mail or by hand delivery from a commercial courier, we accept as proof one of the following: (1) A legible mail receipt with the date of mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal Service. (2) A legibly dated U.S. Postal Service postmark. (3) A legibly dated shipping label, invoice, or receipt from a commercial courier. (4) Other proof of mailing or delivery acceptable to the Secretary. If the paper documents are sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we do not accept either of the following as proof of mailing: (1) A private metered postmark, or (2) a mail receipt that is not dated by the U.S. Postal Service. An institution should note that the U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated postmark. Before relying on this method, an institution should check with its local post office. All institutions are encouraged to use certified or at least first-class mail.
The Department accepts hand deliveries from commercial couriers between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday except Federal holidays.
