Sallie Mae Student Loan Option

  • Overview

    Sallie Mae Student Loan Option

    Spirit of Alaska has partnered with Sallie Mae to provide the Smart Option Student Loan Program to help you finance your schooling. Making an investment in education can pay off greatly in your future.

    Getting the right terms is important. The ability to switch to deferred payments, or to repay the loan early, are concerns students must weigh before choosing a loan.

    Sallie Mae allows you to pay after your education is complete, and allows borrowers to receive certain benefits. Things like insurance for your tuition, and a choice of interest rates, provide flexibility for aspiring students from all walks of life and financial backgrounds.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • How much can I borrow?

      You can borrow up to 100% of school certified education costs, with a minimum of $1000.

      You can re-pay the loan while you are in a degree-granting school program, or defer your payments until after school.
