Whether they’re just starting their higher education or are looking for additional funds midway, it’s helpful to explore all financial aid options for your student. Applying for Federal Student Aid can help them find the extra money they need to succeed.

Private Student Loans

While it makes best financial sense to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student loans to pay for higher education, sometimes a family needs extra help.

SAFE has partnered with Sallie Mae to offer a variety of loan options for any stage of higher education. Check out available loans here and choose the one that’s right for your student.

Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA)

The Coverdell Education Savings Account is designed to encourage saving for your child’s education. Check with your tax advisor to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements.

  • Up to $2,000 maximum deposit per child per year
  • Tax-free investment growth
  • Tax-free withdrawals (when funds are spent on qualifying educational expenses)
