ITEM 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On January 31, 2003, the Registrant announced that the U.S. Department of
Education ("DOE") has advised the Registrant that the DOE plans to conduct a
competitive bid process for the currently existing Direct Loan Servicing System
("DLSS") contract between the Registrant and DOE. In November, 2001, the DOE had
on a sole source basis extended the Registrant's DLSS contract for a period of
three years through September 2006 (with an option to extend for one additional
year), but that extension was protested by Sallie Mae. The DLSS contract
represents approximately 4% of the Registrant's annual consolidated revenue. The
Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Item 9 the information set
forth in its press release, dated January 31, 2003, a copy of which is furnished
herewith as Exhibit 99.1. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such press release and the information set
forth therein is deemed to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
