SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The deadlines provided in this notice are for requesting funding or waivers for the three programs that are collectively known as the campus-based programs. The three programs are the Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) programs. The Federal Perkins Loan Program encourages institutions to make low-interest, long-term loans to needy undergraduate and graduate students to help pay for their cost of education. The FWS Program encourages the part-time employment of needy undergraduate and graduate students to help pay for the cost of their education and to involve the students in community service activities. The FSEOG Program encourages institutions to provide grants to exceptionally needy undergraduate students to help pay for their cost of education. The Federal Perkins Loan, FWS, and FSEOG programs are authorized by parts E and C, and part A, subpart 3, respectively, of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Throughout the year, we will provide additional information regarding the individual deadline dates listed in this notice via the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) web site: http:// www.ifap.ed.gov Deadline Dates: The following table provides the deadline dates for the campus-based programs for the 2002-2003 award year.
