The foundation intends to distribute to pheaa, from time to time, all of the cash flows derived from the student loans, net of expenses (operating expenses and principal, and interest payment to investors). Pheaa intends to use grants and the proceeds from the sale of the student loans to continue other activities that subsidize the costs of higher education and satisfy pheaa's statutory mission.
