A Message from Sallie Mae®

Students and Families,

An estimated 10-40% of students who submit an enrollment deposit fail to enroll in the fall, making summer melt one of the biggest challenges for students.

Summer melt often stems from a lack of understanding of the financial aid process by incoming students, which includes not knowing where to go for help, not being able to find answers in a timely manner, or an inability to find accurate information to help them understand forms, terminology, and next steps.

Sallie Mae® offers free, online tools available at www.salliemae.com/collegeplanning, which can help you eliminate Summer melt. You will hopefully be able to understand a confusing and anxiety-riddled financial aid process, all on-demand from your computer or mobile device.

This free resource helps address common challenges, such as:

  • Understanding financial aid terminology and the types of aid available
  • How to navigate financial aid offers
  • Where to find additional scholarships to help pay for college

If you have questions about this resource, please contact Sallie Mae® at 1-855-756-5626.

We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and Federal student loans to pay for college. Students and families should evaluate all anticipated monthly loan payments, and how much the student expects to earn in the future, before considering a private student loan.
