University Business Readers Nominated Products that Made a Positive Difference at Colleges and Universities This Year

NEWARK, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sallie Mae is proud to announce University Business Magazine selected Sallie Mae's tuition refund insurance and college renters insurance as 2012 Readers' Choice Top Products. Winners were selected by the editors of University Business from nominations submitted by the readership of the magazine and were based on both the quantity of nominations and the quality of reader descriptions.

"We are pleased to announce the first-ever University Business Top Products list and recognize Sallie Mae for two important products to help schools protect revenues and help students protect their investment in education," said University Business Editor-in-Chief Tim Goral. "The nominations came from a variety of university administrators who have shared their experiences with these products and how they have improved the way their school operates."

Sallie Mae Insurance Services is a leader in providing insurance and benefit programs that help colleges protect their revenue while safeguarding the investment students and families make in their education. Tuition refund insurance reimburses tuition and other related expenses if a student is forced to withdraw from college for covered medical reasons including disability, physical or mental illness. It also offers revenue stability and differentiates schools by providing families protection of their investment.

Also recognized as a Readers' Choice Top Product, Sallie Mae's college renters insurance provides peace of mind to students who live in dorms or apartments. In addition to protecting students against losses to their personal property in the event of fire, theft, vandalism, or other covered causes, Sallie Mae's college renters insurance provides personal liability protection for unintended property damage or injury to others.

"In partnership with higher education institutions, we're committed to helping families safeguard their investment," said Charlie Rocha, senior vice president, Sallie Mae. "Sallie Mae's suite of insurance products provides peace of mind for families and schools by delivering certainty that their investment is protected."
