Encouraging Responsible Borrowing

Sallie Mae has helped more than 30 million Americans pay for college since 1972. We encourage students and families to supplement their savings by exploring grants, scholarships, federal and state student loans, and to consider the anticipated monthly payments on their total student loan debt and their expected future earnings before considering a private education loan.

Get Started  

 
 

To participate in the Sallie Mae Residency and Relocation Loan program, veterinary medical schools are required to be accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association and medical schools are required to be accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.

1 Variable rates may increase after consummation. Interest is charged while you are in school and during the applicable separation period of either 36 months after graduation or 9 months after withdrawal from school or attendance falling below half-time status. Any interest that remains unpaid when you enter full repayment will be added to your loan balance.

2 The rate reduction benefit applies only if the recurring payment is successfully deducted from the designated account and is suspended during forbearances and certain deferments. For multi-party loans, only one party may enroll in auto debit.

3 To qualify, borrower must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and meet the underwriting requirements when the release request is processed.

Sallie Mae Residency & Relocation Loans are intended to cover expenses not included in your school's cost of attendance.

Residency & Relocation Loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank® or a lender partner.
