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.
ADDRESSES: Information concerning specific schools listed in the
Directory may be obtained from Patricia Reese, Systems Administration
