Subject: Federal Perkins Loan Program Status of Default as of June 30, 2009 (Orange Book)
The Federal Perkins Loan Program Status of Default as of June 30, 2009, known as the Orange Book, is a report that lists each school that participated in the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Program during the 2008-2009 Award Year and provides a cohort default rate for each school. This report is based on data submitted by schools in the Fiscal Operations Report for 2008-2009 and Application to Participate for 2010-2011 (FISAP).
The attached report is organized alphabetically by state or territory. Schools are listed alphabetically under the state or territory in which they are located. The following information is provided for each school:
Column A, Number of Borrowers Who Entered Repayment Status in 2007-2008
(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, 2009
(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)

These numbers are used to calculate the cohort default rate reported in Column C.
2) Columns D and E include borrowers and amounts in default 270 days or more for loans repayable in quarterly installments.
3) State and territory summary information is provided at the end of the listing for each state and territory. National summary information is provided at the end of the report.
