In August, 2006, Upromise was acquired by the SLM Corporation or “Sallie Mae.” Sallie Mae is the United States' largest college student loan company, managing more than $126.9 billion in debt for more than 10 million borrowers, and employing 12,000 individuals at offices nationwide. The company primarily provides federally guaranteed student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and offers resources to assist students, parents, and guidance professionals with the financial aid process. If you have or had student loans, you probably got them through Sallie Mae. |

It Takes One Step 1. Choose to participate and complete a very short registration form. That's it! Sit back and enjoy knowing your participation is making a significant difference in Zach’s life. We will complete all the 'paperwork,' register your grocery and drugstore discount cards with Upromise and send you a confirmation e-mail. The more grocery and drug store discount cards you enter, the more manufacturers' contribute. If you prefer to sign up as a sponsor directly through Upromise, just send us an e-mail. We will initiate the process and Upromise will send a registration link directly to you that will take you through a slightly more complicated process that includes all the options of registering your credit cards (in addition to your grocery cards), installing shopping toolbars for your browser, and several other options. These extra activities will benefit Zach even more, but we want to make the process easy to get started. |

Ready to Make a Larger Contribution? Once you are comfortable with the grocery and drugstore discount card sponsorship program, you may receive an announcement promoting another option available through Upromise.com. This additional option is to register your credit cards for another automatic 1% to 4% rewards program. When you register your credit cards with Upromise.com, many stores, gas stations, and restaurants will automatically donate funds to Zachary's 529 account. There is no mark-up, you are not charged anything extra, you still earn your normal credit card rewards, and you do not need to change your shopping habits in any way. |
