Sallie Mae's 1-2-3 Approach to Paying for College^SM:

The smartest, easiest way to pay for school
When you use Sallie Mae's 1-2-3 Approach to Paying for College, you'll tap the most affordable education funds first and minimize your education loan debt upon graduation. And Sallie Mae's application process is quick and easy. We offer total funding solutions—from a free scholarship database and tuition payment plans to federal and private student loans.

• Step 1: Use free money first
  Fill out the FAFSA to access need-based grants; research and apply for scholarships. Consider supplementing with current income and college savings.
• Step 2: Explore federal loans
  Available to both students and parents regardless of need, federal loans offer low, fixed interest rates and flexible repayment options.
• Step 3: Fill any gap with private student loans
  After you've pursued free money and federal loans, private student loans may be available to cover the rest of your education costs.
