NEWARK, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Sallie Mae Fund, Inc. today announced it is contributing $200,000 to HBCU Week Foundation, Inc. to support higher education access at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Sallie Mae's (SLM) second-quarter 2024 results reflect lower provisions and robust loan origination. A decline in NII and a rise in expenses were spoilsports.
