The Sallie Mae Fund provides scholarships through a number of its own programs that address a common barrier to higher education access: financial need. With deadlines ranging from April 15 to May 31, these scholarships include:

  • "Unmet Need" Scholarship Program: 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. (Deadline: May 31) 
  • "Design Scholarship Challenge" Contest for Aspiring Graphic Designers: Fifteen winners will earn a $5,000 scholarship to the sponsoring design school of their choice and will also receive a 3-day, 2-night expense-paid trip to San Diego to attend Comic-Con 2009 where they will present a second set of designs for the chance to win a $25,000 scholarship and the opportunity to work with DC Comics on an upcoming marketing campaign for “Absolute Justice.” 
    (Deadline: June 8) 
  • The Sallie Mae 911 Education Fund: Created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, this program provides scholarship dollars to children of those who were killed or permanently disabled in the attacks. (Deadline: ongoing)
The Sallie Mae Fund also has online resources to help students research scholarships available from other organizations:
  • A free, comprehensive database with billions of dollars worth of scholarships available at www.salliemaefund.org.
     
  • Latino College Dollars, a directory of scholarships for Hispanic students, developed in partnership with the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute at the University of Southern California, available at www.latinocollegedollars.org.
     
  • Black College Dollars, a directory of scholarships for African-American students, developed in partnership with BET Networks and the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education, available at www.blackcollegedollars.org.
