K-12 Family Education LoanSM Program

Eligibility | Limits | Interest & Fees | Repayment

Nothing is more important than a child's education. Though the cost of private school may seem daunting, its benefits will last a lifetime.

SLM Financial Corporation, a Sallie Mae Company, has created a loan program to grow with a family's education needs. SLM Financial's K-12 Family Education Loan helps families send their children to private primary and secondary schools. It is available to parents or other creditworthy family members of children attending private K-12 schools. SLM Financial provides fast decisions and superior customer service.

The K-12 Family Education Loan covers all education-related expenses, such as tuition, room and board, books, computers, musical instruments, music lessons, sports and theater, and other extracurricular activities that enrich a child's learning experience. Check to see if your school participates in the K-12 Education Loan program.

Apply for a K-12 Education Loan

Eligibility
Borrowers must be a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S., and must be creditworthy. Borrowers with no credit, or with a poor credit history, may still qualify for a loan by applying with a creditworthy cosigner.

Limits
Minimum loan amount is $1,000 and you can borrow up to the total cost of your child’s education, less other aid received, for tuition and education-related expenses. Up to 60% of the tuition amount is allowable for expenses, not to exceed $6,000. A portion of the tuition must be financed to be eligible to apply for expenses.

Interest & Fees
Each interest rate spread is determined by the credit history of the borrower and cosigner (if the borrower uses a cosigner).

For interest rate and fee information, please visit Sallie Mae.

Repayment Terms
Standard term is 15 years with minimum payments set at $30 a month per loan. Repayment begins 30 days after disbursement and there are no prepayment penalties. After six consecutive payments, borrowers may apply for up to two deferred payments a year.
