Many institutions view Perkins liquidation as the inevitable end point of the program. But deciding when and how to liquidate, or whether to pursue assignment or continued servicing, requires more than a compliance checklist. Moving too quickly can introduce unexpected administrative, operational, and financial burdens, particularly if institutions are not fully prepared from a documentation or staffing perspective. This webinar focuses on the decision process, not the technical steps. Panelists will walk through the key considerations before declaring intent to liquidate, including portfolio characteristics, servicing and staffing capacity, documentation readiness, timelines, and financial statement implications, and financial aid office coordination. Participants will gain a clearer framework for sequencing decisions and aligning stakeholders across accounting and student financial services. Attendees should consider having a copy of their institution’s FISAP on hand to follow along with the discussion.
