Educator turned hip-hop artist Dee-1 knows the challenges of paying for college. When he paid of his own student loans, he celebrated by writing the song, “Sallie Mae Back.” Now, the hip hop star is teaming up with Sallie Mae to promote Sallie Mae’s $25,000 Bridging the Dream Scholarship and announce a national tour to educate students and their families about the importance of planning for college and financial responsibility.
