            <p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </p>
            <p>May 13, 2004<br />
                <br />
              Long Beach, CA - </p>
            <p>SLM Corporation (Sallie Mae) has concluded its review process
              and has awarded Los Angeles Helicopters (LAH) approval to provide
              its lending programs to the LAH student population.</p>
            <p>&quot;Students must be able to focus on their flight and ground
              training full-time in order to maintain a predictable completion
              date for their studies,&quot; said Guillaume Maillet, LAH's Chief
              Pilot. &quot;Sallie Mae lending solutions enhance a student's learning
              experience by providing flexible lending options.&quot;</p>
            <p>As part of a continual effort to provide comprehensive training
              solutions to its student population, LAH can now help compress
              the learning timeline by solving a student's financial need.</p>
            <p><b>About SLM Corporation </b>(NYSE: SLM), commonly known as Sallie
              Mae, is the nation's leading provider of education funding, managing
              more than $92 billion in student loans for more than 7 million
              borrowers. The company primarily provides federally guaranteed
              student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan
              Program (FFELP), and offers comprehensive information and resources
              to guide students, parents and guidance professionals through the
              financial aid process. Sallie Mae was established in 1973 as a
              government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) called the Student Loan Marketing
              Association, and began the privatization process in 1997. Since
              then, the parent company name has changed, most recently to SLM
              Corporation. Through its specialized subsidiaries and divisions,
              Sallie Mae also provides an array of consumer credit loans, including
              those for lifelong learning and K-12 education, and business and
              technical products and services for colleges and universities.
              More information is available at http://www.salliemae.com. SLM
              Corporation and its subsidiaries, other than the Student Loan Marketing
              Association, are not sponsored by or agencies of the United States.<br />
