The Sallie Mae Fund Scholarship Applications

Students can now apply for more than $2 million in scholarships from The Sallie Mae Fund, a charitable organization sponsored by Sallie Mae.

Delivered through The Fund's Project Access program, these scholarships target low income and minority populations in an effort to increase access to higher education. Project Access addresses three key barriers to higher education-awareness of financial aid, academic performance and financial need.

The Sallie Mae Fund scholarship programs include:

The Sallie Mae Fund Unmet Need Scholarship Program: The Unmet Need Scholarship Program is intended to help financial aid officers meet the needs of full-time, undergraduate students whose financial aid packages fall short by $1,000 or more. Open to families with a combined income of less than $30,000, Unmet Need scholarships provide a "last dollar" resource when no other funds are available. http://www.thesalliemaefund.org/projectaccess/need.html

The Sallie Mae Fund American Dream Scholarship Program: Developed in partnership with the United Negro College Fund, the American Dream program offers scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000 to African-American students with demonstrated financial need. http://www.uncf.org/scholarships/scholardetail.asp?Sch_ID=10771
