  • Proof of citizenship or residence permit
SALLIE MAE STUDENT LOANS Disclosure: The lowest rate is available only to the most qualified borrowers. Actual loan pricing is based on creditworthiness factors evaluated during the application process. Fixed interest rates and the deferred repayment option are only available to borrowers attending degree-granting institutions. Your actual interest rate will be based on creditworthiness and other factors as determined during the application process. This information is for borrowers attending degree-granting institutions only. You must be attending or have attended a participating school located in the U.S. during an eligible prior enrollment period. You must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident or a Non-U.S. citizen borrower with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) and required U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) documentation. U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled in eligible study abroad programs or who are attending or have attended schools located outside the U.S. are also eligible. Applications are subject to a requested minimum loan amount of $1,000. Current credit and other eligibility criteria apply. Interest rates for Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options are higher than interest rates for the Interest Repayment Option. You’re charged interest starting at disbursement, while in school and during your six-month separation or grace period. When you enter principal and interest repayment, Unpaid Interest will be added to your loan’s Current Principal. Variable rates may increase over the life of the loan. Advertised APRs assume a $10,000 loan to a freshman with no other Sallie Mae loans. Payments may be required during grace period depending on repayment option selected. Cosigner is required if the borrower does not meet the age of majority in their state or is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident. Sallie Mae reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount than the school-certified amount. RATES AND OTHER INFORMATION ADVERTISED ARE VALID AS OF FEBRUARY 26, 2018. VARIABLE RATES MAY GO UP OR DOWN DUE TO AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE LOAN'S INDEX. SALLIE MAE ALSO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND BENEFITS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.
