SLM Corporation was formed in 1972. SLM Corporation, commonly known as Sallie Mae, is a holding company that operates through a number of subsidiaries. The Company was formed as the Student Loan Marketing Association, a federally chartered government-sponsored enterprise, with the goal of furthering access to higher education by providing a secondary market for student loans. The Company's main business is to originate, service and collect loans made to students and/or their parents to finance the cost of their education. It provides funding, delivery and servicing support for education loans in the United States through its participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program, as a servicer of loans for the Department of Education and through its non-federally guaranteed Private Education Loan programs. It provides credit products and related services to the higher education and consumer credit communities and others through two main business segments: Lending business segment and Asset Performance Group business segment. In addition, within its Corporate and Other business segment, it provides a number of products and services that are managed within smaller operating segments, the most prominent being its Guarantor Servicing and Loan Servicing businesses.
