We believe opportunities to advance through higher learning should be open to everyone.
In 2021, The Sallie Mae Fund, our charitable foundation, launched and expanded its scholarship programs to further promote diversity in higher education by helping students from under-resourced and underrepresented communities access and complete their post-secondary education. Since 2021, in partnership with Thurgood Marshall College Fund, we’ve awarded scholarships to more than 1,100 students, collectively totaling $4 million.
