SoFi does offer loan deferment for borrowers who return to graduate school on a half- or full-time basis, undergo disability rehabilitation, or serve on active military duty. At the end of any deferment, the total loan balance will be reamortized over the remaining term of the loan. A borrower may request deferment by completing and signing a deferment request form and providing the appropriate documentation requested on the form. Restrictions apply. Please contact Customer Support for details.
