I am aware of the federal loan limits for a full time class load (9500 freshman / 10500 sophmore), however does anyone have any idea what amount of federal loans (stafford and perkins) would be available to a student taking the PT program? The EFC would be 0.

Honestly, I don't know but your best bet would be to either call whichever campus you're trying to get into or just go and talk to someone in the financial aid department in person.
I've gone in person a few times and they are unhelpful. They only say the yearly limits, which I know, and shrug apathetically when I request a ball park for a PT student with 6-8 credits a term. I thought I'd pose the question here to get some real world answers instead of some burn out who could care less about anything but fufilling their own work study hours working at the financial aid office. Are there any other types of financial aid counselors one can speak to if those at your school are of no help?
