NSLDS Perkins Loan Submittal

One of the methods that schools can use to submit Perkins Loan data and corrections to existing Perkins Loans to the U.S. Department of Education is by using the NSLDS Professional Access website. The Perkins Spreadsheet Submittal Format Template is available to assist schools with the online upload process. The template is designed to be used with a columnar spreadsheet application and allows for a size limit up to 1,000 KB (1 MB) of data to be loaded at a time. After the school adds Perkins Loan data to the spreadsheet, the school then uploads the data to the NSLDS Professional Access website.

With the launch of the modernized NSLDS Professional Access website on July 25, 2022, a new updated spreadsheet must be used from that date forward. Earlier versions or user-created versions of the spreadsheet will not work with the updated website.

The updated spreadsheet submittal template is available on the NSLDS Professional Access website under the Template Downloads section of the home page. If you have questions, contact the NSLDS Customer Support Center using the contact information on the site.
