Our actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements and information contained in this Presentation due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those described in our 2010 Form 10-K and our second quarter Form 10-Q in "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. This Presentation contains forward-looking statements and information based on management's current expectations as of the date of this presentation. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; changes in accounting standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which we are a party; credit risk associated with our exposure to third parties, including counterparties to our derivative transactions; and changes in the terms of student loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). We could also be affected by, among other things: changes in our funding costs and availability; reductions to our credit ratings or the credit ratings of the United States of America; failures of our operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third-party vendors; damage to our reputation; failures to successfully implement cost-cutting and restructuring initiatives and adverse effects of such initiatives on our business; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions, students and their families; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally; increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of our customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of our earning assets versus our funding arrangements; changes in general economic conditions; and changes in the demand for debt management services. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this Presentation. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations. 2

SLM PRIVATE EDUCATION LOAN COLLECTIONS Sallie Mae services and collects the vast majority of loans in its Private Education Loan portfolio Private Education Loan collections are conducted by a stand-alone consumer credit collections unit, not the company's FFELP collections operations Private Education Loan collections are managed by individuals with extensive experience managing collections operations for credit cards and other consumer loans Over the past two years, Private Education Loan collections technology and practices have been enhanced Multi-variable analysis has enabled prioritization of collection efforts on higher risk borrowers Forbearance policies have been enhanced to reduce reliance on forbearance as a collection tool, while still meeting customer needs during an economic downturn Additional workout and settlement programs have been introduced to help customers avoid default Collection workstations, dialer capabilities, and internet utilities have all been enhanced with more effective technology solutions Sallie Mae Private Education Loans are charged-off at the end of the month if the loan exceeds 212 days past due Overview Collection Philosophy and Fundamentals Segmented Collection Practices by Risk Tier Determine optimal contact channel based on borrower's preferences and risk profile. Channels include letter, phone, email, text messaging, Internet Phone attempts begin at 5-15 days past due Simultaneous collections efforts on borrower and cosigner For lowest risk segments, contact begins at 30 days due to high self-cure rates In high risk segments, communication begins before repayment to notify borrower of obligation coming due Delinquency is reported to credit bureaus for borrower and co-signer beginning at 45 days past due and monthly thereafter, with no reporting for loans in forbearance Focus on account ownership by collectors for middle and late stage accounts Tenured collectors assigned to higher risk accounts Credit reports reviewed as part of repayment negotiation Locate and make contact with the borrower and/or co- signer simultaneously Understand and document each borrower's unique circumstance and reason for delinquency Secure and understand how they will stay up-to-date once cured from delinquency Document each account and update demographic and employment information Focus on cash collections as the primary account resolution approach 41

Private Credit ABS Trusts Annualized Gross Charge-offs (1) For SLM Private Credit Student Loan Trusts issued prior to 2005-B, the servicer has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase loans that (i) become 180+ days delinquent and/or (ii) have a borrower who filed for bankruptcy or died . Prior to November 1, 2008, the servicer exercised this repurchase option and actual charge-offs in these trusts equaled zero.

Private Credit ABS Trusts Historical Cumulative Gross Charge-Offs(1) (1) For SLM Private Credit Student Loan Trusts issued prior to 2005-B, the servicer has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase loans that (i) become 180+ days delinquent and/or (ii) have a borrower who filed for bankruptcy or died . Prior to November 1, 2008, the servicer exercised this repurchase option and actual charge-offs in these trusts equaled zero. Beginning November 1, 2008, the servicer ceased purchasing from the trust loans that are more than 180 days delinquent.

The cohort default triangles featured on subsequent slides are segmented by loan program type, FICO score, co-borrower status, and school type Terms and calculations used in the cohort default triangles are defined below: Repayment Year - The calendar year loans entered repayment Disbursed Principal Entering Repayment - The amount of principal entering repayment in a given year, based on disbursed principal prior to any interest capitalization Years in Repayment - Measured in years between repayment start date and default date. Zero represents defaults that occurred prior to the start of repayment. Periodic Defaults - Defaulted principal in each Year in Repayment as a percentage of the disbursed principal entering repayment in each Repayment Year Defaulted principal includes any interest capitalization that occurred prior to default Defaulted principal is not reduced by any amounts recovered after the loan defaulted Because the numerator includes capitalized interest while the denominator does not, default rates are higher than if the numerator and denominator both included capitalized interest Total - The sum of Periodic Defaults across Years in Repayment for each Repayment Year COHORT DEFAULT TRIANGLES 74

RECENT PRIVATE LOAN ABS TRUST PERFORMANCE Sallie Mae is currently collecting payments from a much higher percentage of delinquent borrowers than in the past Delinquent borrowers who have made at least one payment during delinquency are far less likely to default 82

Recoveries As of June 2011, Sallie Mae expects to collect 27 percent of a defaulted loan's balance, on average, across its private education loan portfolio Recoveries are typically realized over many years as a result of the prevalent use of long-term payment plans While student loans are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, the proceedings can postpone recoveries until after borrowers emerge from bankruptcy In 2005, Sallie Mae changed its recovery practices, leading to an increase in overall recoveries and earlier collection of recovered amounts Loans that defaulted in 1998-2003 had recovery rates of 7 - 14% five years after default The 2005 cohort had a recovery rate of 22.5% five years after default Recovery experience for more recent cohorts has varied based on economic conditions and the characteristics of defaulted loans 83
