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

Summary: The Secretary announces that the 1993-94 National Direct and 
Federal Perkins Loan Programs Directory of Designated Low-Income 
Schools (Directory) is now available. Under the National Direct and 
Federal Perkins Loan programs, a borrower may have repayment of his or 
her loan deferred and a portion of his or her loan cancelled if the 
borrower teaches full-time for a complete academic year in a selected 
elementary or secondary school having a high concentration of students 
from low-income families. In the 1993-94 Directory, the Secretary 
lists, on a State-by-State and Territory-by-Territory basis, the 
schools in which a borrower may teach during the 1993-94 school year to 
qualify for deferment and cancellation benefits.

DATES: The Directory is currently available.

ADDRESSES: Information concerning specific schools listed in the 
Directory may be obtained from Ronald W. Allen, Systems Administration 
Branch, Campus-Based Programs Systems Division, Office of Postsecondary 
Education, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., (Room 
4621, ROB-3), Washington, DC 20202-5453, Telephone (202) 708-6730. 
Information concerning deferment and cancellation of a National Direct 
or Federal Perkins loan may be obtained from Susan M. Morgan, Section 
Chief, Campus-Based Loan Programs Section, Loans Branch, Division of 
Policy Development, Office of Postsecondary Education, U.S. Department 
of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., (Room 4018, ROB-3), Washington, 
DC 20202-5453, Telephone (202) 708-8242. Individuals who use a

Loan Program; (2) each of the fifty-seven (57) State and Territory 
Departments of Education; (3) each of the major Federal Perkins Loan 
billing services, and (4) the U.S. Department of Education.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary selects the schools that 
qualify the borrower for deferment and cancellation benefits under the 
procedures set forth in 34 CFR 674.53 and 674.54 of the Federal Perkins 
Loan Program regulations.
    The Secretary has determined that, for the 1993-94 academic year, 
full-time teaching in the schools set forth in the 1993-94 Directory 
qualifies a borrower for deferment and cancellation benefits.
    The Secretary is providing the Directory to each institution 
participating in the Federal Perkins Loan Program. Borrowers and other 
interested parties may check with their lending institution, the 
appropriate State or Territory Department of Education, regional 
offices of the Department of Education, or the Office of Postsecondary 
Education of the Department of Education concerning the identity of 
qualifying schools for the 1993-94 academic year. The Office of 
Postsecondary Education retains, on a permanent basis, copies of past 
Directories.
