For academic year 2008-2009
The Signature Student Loan is a private, credit-based loan funded by Sallie Mae Bank® or a Sallie Mae® lender partner. After taking advantage of free money (like scholarships, grants) and low cost federal loans, you may still need money to help you pay for school. That's when you should consider Sallie Mae's private Signature Student Loan.
Paying for Your Education is Easy with Sallie Mae
Start by following Sallie Mae's 1-2-3 approach to paying for school:
- Research available scholarships and other sources of "free money".
- Fill out the FAFSA and apply for federal loans, like Stafford for students and PLUS for parents. Federal loans generally have lower interest rates and have more flexible repayment options. Learn more about federal loans.
- Then, if you still need money, consider the Signature Student Loan. This private loan is available to students—both traditional and adult learners—who are attending school at least half time and working on earning a degree. The Signature Student Loan’s interest rates are tiered so those who manage their credit well or get a creditworthy cosigner may receive the benefit of a lower interest rate.
Features:
- Interest rates as low as Prime minus 1% with 0% fees. (See assumptions.)
- "Super" low interest rate for our most credit savvy borrowers
- 0.50 percentage point interest rate reduction for auto debit *
- Zero fees if both you and your cosigner are credit approved
- No income requirement for student borrowers. And no payment required while in school
