COVID-19
- Due to University guidelines, Student Financial Services is working remotely. For immediate assistance, please send a detailed email to [email protected]. Be sure to include your student's Banner ID or Loan ID and full name. Please do not mail any forms to our office, instead please send by email to [email protected].
- As you may be aware, the U.S. Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid released information about the CARES Act (the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act), which was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act provides relief to borrowers with federally held loans. It also allows Brown and other schools that hold Federal Perkins Loans to implement similar relief opportunities for federal student loan borrowers.
- The University is committed to assisting our borrowers by implementing relief measures that are available to Brown borrowers. The assessment of late fees for past due loans has been stopped through December 31, 2020. Additionally, for borrowers who request repayment relief due to COVID-19, a 3-month forbearance on loans to temporarily postpone repayment will be provided. For Federal Perkins Loans borrowers, we encourage you to consolidate your federal loans in order to take full advantage of other repayment relief options available to borrowers under the CARES Act. These measures are offered in addition to existing deferment options available through each loan program.
