Fitch Affirms South Carolina Student Loan Corp. Trusts

Fitch Ratings has affirmed all senior student loan notes issued by three South Carolina Student Loan Corp. trusts at 'AAAsf', respectively. The Rating Outlook for the notes, which is tied to the sovereign rating of the U.S. government, remains Negative.

Fitch affirms the ratings on the notes based on the sufficient level of credit enhancement to cover the applicable risk factor stresses. Credit enhancement for the senior notes consists of overcollateralization and projected minimum excess spread.
