If you decide to apply for a Sallie Mae loan you will need to use school code: 01005200.
Please note: Sallie Mae loan disclosures and confirmation documents will list the institution as “Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Program of Practical Nursing,” regardless of the Adult Education program you are attending. If you are enrolled in a program other than Practical Nursing, this does not indicate an error or change to your selected program. Your loan will still apply to the eligible Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Adult Education program for which you applied.
