Why refinance your student loans in residency?

Choose a repayment term and pick between a low fixed or variable interest rate based on your expected future income as a physician.

If you have federal and private student loans, you can now apply to consolidate them into one easy payment.

Interest on your SoFi loan will not compound during residency, so you won't end up paying interest on interest.

Testimonials

“For a lot of people who go into medicine, you get into it to help people. You go pretty far into debt along the way, you try not to think about the massive debt you’re accruing, but it’s always sitting there in the back of your mind. I refinanced my medical school loans with SoFi and saved about $40,000. It’s easier for me to relax now and not have those nagging thoughts.”

—Charlie, M.D.

“I know I’m making progress and [SoFi has] given me the freedom to invest that money in other assets. My debt is there, but it isn’t holding me back. I tell everyone about SoFi - it’s the easiest thing. Before, I had three different loans and it was frustrating. Now I pay one, and I’m saving 2% in interest every month - that is a huge savings for me every month.”

— Dr. Jared Pool, University of the Pacific

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does SoFi refinance student loans for Medical Residents and Fellows?
–+

Yes! SoFi will refinance student debt for medical residents and fellows before you become an attending physician. Residents will be required to make minimum monthly payments of $100 on their debt to SoFi until the end of your residency or fellowship program, up to 54 months. After this time, your loan will re-amortize and your payment amount will increase according to a fully amortized loan schedule.

Q: Am I eligible for a SoFi Medical Resident Refinance loan?
+–

  • 1. You’re a medical resident or fellow with up to four years left in your approved program.
  • 2. You have over $10k in private or federal student loan debt.
  • 3. You have graduated from a selection of Title IV accredited university or graduate programs in the U.S.
  • 4. You meet SoFi’s underwriting criteria.

See SoFi.com/eligibility for additional information.

Q: When can I refinance?
+–

Residents and fellows can apply to refinance once you have been matched to your residency or fellowship program. Applicants must be within 4 years of becoming an attending physician. Any fellowship or extended residency training period must be agreed to at the time of refinancing.

Q: What happens if I leave my residency program?
+–

Upon completion or departure from your residency program, your loan will re-amortize and your payment amount will increase according to a fully amortized loan schedule.

Q: What terms do you offer?
+–

SoFi offers 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 year fixed and variable terms. This means that if you refinance today, have four years left in your residency, and refinance to a 20 year loan term, as long as you make every payment on time, your loan will be fully paid off in 24 years.

Q: What happens to the accrued interest on my loan during the $100 payment per month residency period?
+–

Interest that accrues while paying $100 monthly payments during the residency period will capitalize at the end of your residency period. This means that you will not be charged compounded interest on your SoFi loan during your residency period.

Terms and Conditions Apply. SOFI RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE PRODUCTS AND BENEFITS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. To qualify, a borrower must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in an eligible state and meet SoFi’s underwriting requirements. Not all borrowers receive the lowest rate. To qualify for the lowest rate, you must have a responsible financial history and meet other conditions. If approved, your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed above and will depend on a variety of factors, including term of loan, a responsible financial history, years of experience, income and other factors. Rates and Terms are subject to change at anytime without notice and are subject to state restrictions. SoFi refinance loans are private loans and do not have the same repayment options that the federal loan program offers such as Income Based Repayment or Income Contingent Repayment or PAYE. In addition, federal student loans offer deferment and forbearance options that are not available to you if you take out a SoFi Lending Corp. Medical Resident Loan Refi. Licensed by the Department of Business Oversight under the California Financing Law License No. 6054612. SoFi loans are originated by SoFi Lending Corp., NMLS # 1121636. (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org)

✝ To check the rates and terms you qualify for, SoFi conducts a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you choose a product and continue your application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.

The minimum monthly payment of $100 while in residency period, may not pay all of the interest due each month, which will likely result in negative amortization during the residency period.
