SUMMARY: The Secretary announces that the 1994-95 National Direct and 
Federal Perkins Student Loan Programs Directory of Designated Low-
Income Schools (Directory) is now available. Under the National Direct 
and Federal Perkins Student Loan programs, a borrower may have 
repayment of his or her loan deferred and a portion of his or her loan 
canceled 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 1994-95 
Directory, the Secretary lists, on a State-by-State and Territory-by-
Territory basis, the schools in which a borrower may teach during the 
1994-95 school year to qualify for deferment and cancellation benefits.

DATES: The Directory is currently available.

Directory may be obtained from Patricia Reese, Systems Administration 
Branch, Campus-Based Programs Systems Division, Office of Postsecondary

procedures set forth in 34 CFR 674.53, 674.54 and 674.55 of the Federal

interested parties may check with their lending institution, the 
appropriate State or Territory Department of Education, regional
