All rights reserved. 2 CAUTIONARY NOTE AND DISCLAIMER REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The following information is current as of March 31, 2025 (unless otherwise noted) and should be read in connection with the most recent periodic report of SLM Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as updated from time to time by subsequently filed or furnished reports. This Presentation contains “forward-looking statements” and information based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this Presentation. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs, opinions, or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to: strategies; goals and assumptions of SLM Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively or individually as the context requires (the “Company”); the Company’s expectation and ability to execute loan sales and share repurchases; the Company’s expectation and ability to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock in the future, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors; the Company’s 2025 guidance; the Company’s three-year horizon outlook; the impact of acquisitions the Company has made or may make in the future; the Company’s projections regarding originations, net charge-offs, non-interest expenses, earnings, balance sheet position, and other metrics; any estimates related to accounting standard changes; and any estimates related to the impact of credit administration practices changes, including the results of simulations or other behavioral observations. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC; increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; failure to comply with consumer protection, banking, and other laws or regulations; changes in laws, regulations, and supervisory expectations, especially in light of the goals of the new Trump administration; our ability to timely develop new products and services and the acceptance of those products and services by potential and existing customers; changes in accounting standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates, including any regarding the measurement of our allowance for credit losses and the related provision expense; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which the Company is a party; credit risk associated with the Company’s exposure to third parties, including counterparties to the Company’s derivative transactions; the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models; and changes in the terms of education loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). We could also be affected by, among other things: changes in our funding costs and availability; reductions to our credit ratings; cybersecurity incidents, cyberattacks, and other failures or breaches of our operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third-party vendors; the societal, business, and legislative/regulatory impact of pandemics, other public health crises, and/or natural disasters; damage to our reputation; risks associated with restructuring initiatives, including failures to successfully implement cost-cutting programs and the adverse effects of such initiatives on our business; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions, students, and their families, including changes as a result of new limits on, or reductions in, funding that certain educational institutions receive from the Federal government; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally; changes in banking rules and regulations, including increased capital requirements; increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of our customers, or any change related thereto; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of our earning assets versus our funding arrangements; rates of prepayments on the loans owned by us; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the impact of tariffs or trade wars or other current initiatives of the Federal government, that may impact the demand for student loans and the risk of default of outstanding loans; our ability to successfully effectuate any acquisitions; and other strategic initiatives. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All oral and written forward-looking statements attributed to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors, risks, and uncertainties set forth in the foregoing cautionary statements, and are made only as of the date of this Presentation or, where the statement is oral, as of the date stated. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in our expectations, nor to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements discussed. Any data or other information presented in the following charts is for comparative purposes only and is not to be deemed a part of any offering of securities. Any offering will be made solely through an offering document. Forward-Looking Statements and Disclaimer

In August 2014, Sallie Mae Bank sponsored its first private education loan ABS, SMB Private Education Loan Trust 2014-A (the “SMB 2014-A transaction”). Because this transaction occurred prior to the transfer of loan servicing from Navient to Sallie Mae Bank, Sallie Mae Bank acted as master servicer for the transaction and Navient as subservicer, and the loan pool is serviced pursuant to Navient servicing policies. In April 2015 and October 2015, Sallie Mae Bank sponsored securitizations and residual sales, SMB Private Education Loan Trust 2015-A and SMB Private Education Loan Trust 2015-C, respectively. In 2020 and 2021, Sallie Mae Bank sold approximately $3.1 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, of Private Education Loans to unaffiliated third parties. In 2022, Sallie Mae Bank sold approximately $3.1 billion of Private Education Loans to unaffiliated third parties.

Confidential and proprietary information. © 2025 Sallie Mae Bank. All rights reserved. 17 Smart Option Loan Program: Cohort Default Triangles Terms and calculations used in the cohort default triangles are defined below:  First P&I Repayment Period – The first month during which a borrower is required to make a full principal and interest payment on a loan. This date is static. Once a loan enters P&I repayment, the date is locked in and does not change. This refinement to the methodology was made in 2021 Q2.  P&I Repayment Vintage – The calendar year of a loan’s First P&I Repayment Period.  Disbursed Principal Entering P&I Repayment – The total amount of disbursed loan principal in a P&I Repayment Vintage, excluding any interest capitalization.  Reported Default Data – o For loans that default after their First P&I Repayment Period: Loans enter a particular annual P&I Repayment Vintage at different times during the P&I Repayment Vintage year. Default data is not reported for loans in a particular annual P&I Repayment Vintage until the First P&I Repayment Period has occurred for all loans in that annual P&I Repayment Vintage. Once reporting starts, data reflects defaults that occurred in a particular period through the number of months since December 31 of that annual P&I Repayment Vintage year. For example, in the relevant charts and tables included in this presentation as of March 31, 2025: (i) default data reported for loans in the 2024 P&I Repayment Vintage represents defaults occurring during the first three months (i.e., first quarter) after a loan’s First P&I Repayment Period regardless of the month in 2024 during which the first full principal and interest payment for that loan became due; and (ii) default data for loans in the 2023 P&I Repayment Vintage represents defaults occurring during the first 15 months (i.e., first five quarters) after a loan’s First P&I Repayment Period regardless of the month in 2023 during which the first full principal and interest payment for that loan became due. o For loans that default prior to their First P&I Repayment Period: Loans defaulting prior to their First P&I Repayment Period are included in the P&I Repayment Vintage corresponding to the calendar year in which the default occurs, and are aggregated and reported in Year 0 of that P&I Repayment Vintage in the relevant charts and tables. For example: (a) if a loan’s First P&I Repayment Period was scheduled for 2022, but the loan defaulted in 2021, the default amount is reflected in Year 0 of the 2021 P&I Repayment Vintage; and (b) if a loan’s First P&I Repayment Period occurred in 2022, but the loan defaulted in 2022 before that First P&I Repayment Period, the default amount is reflected in Year 0 of the 2022 P&I Repayment Vintage. o For loans that pay off prior to their First P&I Repayment Period: Loans paid off prior to their First P&I Repayment Period are included in the Disbursed Principal Entering P&I Repayment of the P&I Repayment Vintage corresponding to the calendar year in which the payoff occurs.  Periodic Defaults – For any loan in a particular P&I Repayment Vintage, the defaulted principal and interest is reflected in the year corresponding to the number of years since the First P&I Repayment Period for that loan.  Cumulative Defaults – At any time for a particular P&I Repayment Vintage, the cumulative sum of Periodic Defaults for that vintage. o Defaulted principal includes any interest capitalization that occurred prior to default o Defaulted principal is not reduced by any amounts recovered after the loan defaulted o Because the numerator includes capitalized interest while the denominator (i.e., Disbursed Principal Entering P&I Repayment) does not, default rates are higher than they would be if the numerator and denominator both included capitalized interest Note: Historical trends suggested by the cohort default triangles may not be indicative of future performance.

All rights reserved. 18 Smart Option Loan Program: Prepayment Methodology The Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) represents an annualized rate of prepayment speed measuring the reduction in the principal balance of a pool of loans in excess of the scheduled pool amortization. The rate can be positive or negative depending on whether the pool principal balance is less than or greater than the expected principal amount. A CPR greater than zero suggests that the pool is paying down faster than the expected amortization. Conversely, a CPR less than zero suggests that the pool is paying down more slowly than the expected amortization.  Total CPR – A broad measure of prepayment activity including both voluntary and involuntary prepayments  Voluntary CPR – The portion of Total CPR attributable to pool principal balance paid down prematurely by borrowers in a given period  Involuntary CPR – The portion of Total CPR attributable to defaults  Scheduled Payment (SP) – The monthly payment due on a loan; not impacted by forbearance, deferment, or any concession  Received Payment (PMT) – The monthly payment received on a loan  Expected Balance (EXP) – For any month, the prior month’s principal balance plus the current month’s interest accrued less the Scheduled Payment  Prepayment – Any payment made during the month exceeding the Scheduled Payment  Single Month Mortality Rate (SMM) – The percentage of the Expected Balance prepaid in a given month  Survival Rate (SR) – The percentage of the Expected Balance not prepaid in a given month
