Hi, I'm Corinne Woeller, the assistant director of financial aid here at Spa Tech Institute.
This video is going to show you how you can apply for a private Sallie Mae loan online.
You can do this at home online, or you can make an appointment with the school to have
someone help you.
So we are back at the financial aid link off of Spa Tech Institute's website. And now I'm
going to show you how you can access Sallie Mae's web page to apply for a career training
loan if that's the avenue you are taking.
So I've clicked on the Sallie Mae loan link off the financial aid page, and it's bringing
me to Sallie Mae's home page. We have a few steps to make sure we're getting you to the
correct loan here. So I'm going to scroll down a little bit and under Student Loans
I'm going to click on View Undergraduate Student Loans and there are two different types of
these. There's the Smart Option Student Loan, which we actually don't work with. But the
second one down is the Career Training Smart Option Student Loan, which is the one we do
work with.
So I'm going to click Learn More on that, and this page is going to tell you all about
a Smart Option Student Loan. This is a credit-based loan, so they are going to do a credit check
on you when you apply. And one very nice thing about this is that if you're not approved
on your own, you can actually add a cosigner onto the loan with you.
So once you're ready to apply for this, you're going to click on the Get Started link right
there. And it's going to ask you to accept Sallie Mae's website terms of use. So just
read through that if you wish and check off the box and click Continue.
And now it's going to start asking you for your information. So you'll just fill in each
box and once you're done you can hit Continue. If you've missed anything, it will actually
create a error and tell you what you still need to fill in on the screen. And you'll
just go through each step here until you get to a approval or denial screen.
As you can see, it's pretty easy. But please do not hesitate to contact us if you need
help moving along with this process. Thank you for watching our video. We look forward
to seeing you here as a student at Spa Tech Institute.
