FAP722: Sallie Mae, Nelnet in trouble, graduate financial aid mailbag Listen now: Student Financial Aid News + This Sunday is College Goal Sunday in Massachusetts. Other states will vary. I ll be at Framingham High School, and I ll be bringing my video rig as well. + Chronicle: Sallie Mae, (ticker: SLM) the nation s largest student-loan company, said it will stop offering loans to students at colleges with poor graduation rates. + The lender, which is struggling with financial difficulties including a falling stock price, announced the change on Wednesday, one day after it was revealed that Sallie Mae would also stop making private loans—those given by banks without any federal subsidy—to students whose credit ratings are below prime. + The moves are among service cutbacks a number of lenders have announced as they cope with a reduction in federal subsidies on government-backed loans and the overall tightening of credit markets stemming from the crisis in mortgage lending. + Albert L. Lord Sallie Mae s chief executive, explained the decision in a conference call with industry analysts on Wednesday. Education builds credit worthiness, and if there s one single variable that s critical, it s graduation, Mr. Lord said. + Sallie Mae has lent too much money to students who have gone to schools without very good graduation records, Mr. Lord said, without defining which colleges he had in mind. + As with the company s new policy of not making private loans to students with poor credit ratings, a shift by Sallie Mae based on graduation rates could have its most significant effects on for-profit colleges and some categories of private institutions that rely on lower-income students. Sallie Mae did not restrict its boycott of colleges with low graduation rates to either private loans or federally guaranteed loans. + Students at colleges with low graduation rates are singly responsible for more than 60 percent of credit losses at Sallie Mae in 2007, Mr. Lord said. + Some college groups said the decision on private loans could be beneficial, since some lenders have been encouraging too many students to borrow beyond their means. + This is a classic Sallie Mae move—always trying to cream the good paper, said Sarah A. Flanagan, vice president for government relations at the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. + In other student loan industry news, Nelnet (ticker: NNI) is exiting the student loan consolidation business in a press release yesterday and is also cutting 300 jobs + If you re a Nelnet customer interested in student loan consolidation, come on over to StudentLoanConsolidator.com or call 877-328-1565 + Tomorrow, another episode of Financial Aid Podcast Live! Scholarship Update + The Alice L. Haltom Educational Fund exists for the purpose of furthering education in the field of information and records management. It is supported by contributions from various chapters of the Association of Records Managers and Administrators International (ARMA), companies, individuals, and other organizations. + Deadline May 1 each year + $2,000 + Details at our free college scholarship search site Mail Bag + Lorri writes in: My sister in law is trying to acquire enough money to go to Berkley or some major school like that for her Masters. Are there any scholarship/loan/grant websites or businesses she should look in too. I used the FASFA grant to get through college, but I don t think that applies to a masters degree.
