Get the education you need at a cost you can afford.
If continuing your education will help you advance or change your career, don't let the cost prevent you from achieving your goals. Finding affordable lending options for continuing education is easier than ever before.

SLM Financial Corporation, a Sallie Mae company, offers flexible, low-interest loan designed to help you further your career. You must be a US citizen, national or permanent resident; be enrolled at least half-time at an accredited aviation school; and meet the credit criteria. Foreign students who may have U.S. based relatives or friends who are willing to sponsor would also be eligible.

Save money with interest rates as low as Prime + 1% and fees starting at 2%. 

The lower your interest rate, the less your total education will cost, and the more money you'll save in the long run.  The interest rates are typically lower than the rates offered by credit cards, and are priced so you get the best possible terms based on your credit history.

Borrow as much as you need - for tuition and expenses.  

You can borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to the total cost of your education (less financial aid received).  That includes the money you need for related costs such as books, fees, a computer, software, and living expenses.

Take up to 15 years to repay your loan. 

With our longer repayment terms, you can keep your monthly payments low, making paying for your education easier on your budget.  While you're in school, you may choose to lower your payments even further by making interest-only payments during the training or defer all payments for 6 months.

After making six consecutive, on-time payments, borrowers may apply to defer up to two monthly payments per year.  Approval is at SLM Financial's discretion.  Once you're finished with school and your earnings increase, you can choose to prepay your loan - with no pre-payment penalties - to reduce the total cost of your loan.

Apply with confidence - our approval rates are high. 

SLM has flexible programs with rates and terms you can afford.  Because they use credit-based pricing, you have a greater chance of being approved.  Approval rates are over 75% for our education and training loans.
