Nellie Mae, since 1982, has helped more than a million students and their families pay for college by providing a broad range of loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program and privately funded loan programs. Headquartered in Braintree, Mass., the company works with colleges and universities nationwide to provide useful and successful loan programs. For example, it offers convenient online application options, including prequalification for Federal PLUS and private loans, Federal Consolidation Loan applications and downloadable Master Promissory Note forms for Stafford and PLUS Loan borrowers. To help students, it offers cash-back rewards for on-time repayment and convenient online loan counseling and debt management. In 1999, Nellie Mae became a wholly owned affiliate of Sallie Mae Corporation.
