In September 2015, Sallie Mae® asked counselors across the country to nominate junior and senior high school students who stood out due to their hard work, challenges they’ve overcome, and special skills. They received hundreds of entries. After reviewing the nominations, four finalists were chosen, and all travelled to Delaware to find out who would win the scholarship.

Sallie Mae employees raised $50,000 through fundraising activities for the students. The company matched the employees and awarded a total of $100,000. So each of the extraordinary students received a $25,000 scholarship for college.
