collected in respect thereof and monies on deposit in certain trust accounts.
For more information regarding the property of the Trusts, you should examine
the Annual Statements of Compliance (the "Annual Statements of Compliance")
attached as Exhibit 19.1 hereto, required by Section 3.2 of (i) the
Administration Agreements, dated as of October 26, 1995, March 6, 1996, April

Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee (the "Eligible
Lender Trustee"), Sallie Mae Servicing Corporation (the "Servicer"), SLM Funding
Corporation (the "Registrant") and Bankers Trust Company, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") and (ii) the
Master Administration Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997, between the Registrant
and the Administrator, as variously amended or supplemented (collectively, the
"Administration Agreements").

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedings involving the
Registrant or its property.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Nothing to report.

PART II.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

At December 31, 1999, the Registrant was a beneficial owner of the Trusts'
Floating Rate Student Loan-Backed Certificates ("Certificates"), and there was
one (1) registered holder of the Certificates, CEDE & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). There were twelve (12) persons registered on
the books of DTC as record owners of Certificates. There is no established
trading market for the Certificates.

ITEM 7. OTHER RELATED EVENTS AND INFORMATION.

Effective as of February 11, 2000, Elizabeth S. Eldridge resigned her
position as a director of the Registrant and Susan Burdick-Brennan was elected
as a director.

LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS

On December 17, 1999, President Clinton signed the Ticket to Work and Work
Incentives Improvement Act. This act includes a provision that changes the index
on which lender returns are set in the Federal Family Education Loan Program
from the current 91-day Treasury bill rate to a three-month commercial paper
rate. The new index will apply to all loans originated after January 1, 2000 and
before July 1, 2003. The rates that students pay on their FFELP loans are
unaffected by the new index.

2

ADMINISTRATION'S FY 2001 BUDGET PROPOSAL

On February 7, 2000 President Clinton submitted his Fiscal Year 2001 budget
proposal to Congress. The budget proposes significant savings from the student
loan programs, principally from the FFELP. The major proposals affecting student
loans, and the student loan industry are the following:

- Reduce special allowance payments 31 basis points from three-month
commercial paper plus 2.34% to three-month commercial paper plus 2.03%.

- Eliminate all special allowance on tax exempt loans subject to a 9.5%
interest rate floor.

All these proposals may be considered by Congress as it deliberates on the
FY 2001 budget. The Registrant does not expect any of these proposals to pass.
If any of these proposals were to pass, the revenues of the Trusts could be
materially adversely affected.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Nothing to report.

PART III.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

At December 31, 1999, the Certificates held by the Registrant were
registered in the name of CEDE and Co., as nominee of DTC. The books of DTC
indicate that nine (9) participant institutions are record owners of more than
5% of the Certificates.
