A
It is available for students with exceptional financial need.
B
It is available to all students regardless of financial need.
C
It does not offer deferment options.
D
It typically has a higher interest rate compared to subsidized and unsubsidized loans.

Explanation

Federal Perkins Loans were intended for students with exceptional financial need, so the true statement is “It is available for students with exceptional financial need.” They generally had a low fixed interest rate and offered deferment options, so A and C are false. Eligibility was not open to all students regardless of financial need, so D is false.
