When borrowers combine LAWLOANS federal and private loans, they get the convenience of one combined monthly payment, life-of-loan servicing, and 24/7 online account management. Additionally, with LAWLOANS, borrowers can focus on their studies and not have to worry about repaying their loans while they are in school. Unpaid interest that accrues while borrowers are in school will be capitalized at repayment.

Sallie Mae’s streamlined application process lets borrowers get LAWLOANS Stafford, Grad PLUS, and Private loans quickly and easily.

LAWLOANS Stafford loans

Federal loans generally carry the lowest interest rates available and offer a wide array of repayment options. Eligible students can apply for up to $20,500 in Stafford loans through LAWLOANS®.

Graduate PLUS loans

With a Federal Graduate PLUS loan, your students may borrow up to the full cost of their education, including tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and living allowance — less other financial aid received including Federal Stafford loans.

LAWLOANS Private loans

If your student has reached the federal student loan limit or if they aren't eligible for federal funding, they can apply for the LAWLOANS Private LoanSM.

Bar Study Loan

The Bar Study Loan® is a private, credit-based loan designed to finance bar exam costs such as bar review course fees, bar exam deposits and fees, and living expenses. It is offered through the LAWLOANS program.


Federal loans first

Sallie Mae encourages borrowers to apply for federal loans before applying for the LAWLOANS Private Loan, as federal loans are typically less expensive and offer the broadest array of repayment options.
