MBA Loan FAQs


How long can I defer the loan? Can I defer payments until I’m done with school?
If you choose the deferred repayment option, full principal and interest payments can be deferred as long as undergraduate students remain enrolled at an eligible school at least half-time. For graduate student loans, full principal and interest payments would begin 6 months after the student graduates or drops below half-time enrollment. To learn how different repayment options can affect your monthly payment amount and what you might pay overall for the loan, check out our repayment options and examples page.


How long does the application process take? How quickly can I get my loan?

You can apply and get a credit decision within minutes. If approved, you would then need to accept your terms and electronically sign your loan documents. At that point, we send the loan application information to the school for certification. During this process, schools verify your enrollment status, academic progress, and your financial aid package. Every school has their own processes and timelines, so certification can take several days or sometimes weeks. Once we receive the certification back from the school, we’ll schedule the funds to be sent according to the school’s requested timeline. The entire process from application to actually sending the money to the school typically takes at least 4-6 weeks, but it can be shorter or longer than that depending on the school.


What information do I need to apply?

  • Social Security number or Tax Identification Number (TIN) are required from all borrowers all the time
  • Proof of income: You may be required to provide proof of income if SoFi is not able to validate it automatically. We could use something similar for gov’t id.
  • Government-issued ID
  • Student’s school information (student’s estimated graduation date and academic term)
  • Loan amount (how much you’d like to borrow)
  • Financial aid you expect to receive
  • Do you already have a private student loan with SoFi? We’ll use your past application to pre-fill as much information as possible in your new application




I don’t see my school listed in the application. What does that mean?

SoFi’s eligible school list consists of most public and private, degree-granting institutions.

Can law school student loans be used for living expenses?

Yes, both federal and private law school student loans can typically be used to cover certain living expenses while you are enrolled. This may include costs such as housing, food, transportation, books, and supplies in addition to tuition and fees. Each lender and loan program sets its own rules, so it is important to review your loan terms carefully and borrow only what you need to manage both academic and personal expenses responsibly.



When should I apply for law school loans?

The timing of a law school loan application can depend on factors such as your school’s tuition deadlines, the financial aid you receive, and the lender’s processing requirements. Reviewing your options and understanding these timelines can help ensure funding is available when needed.


What information do I need to apply for a private law school loan?

BIDEN EXTENDS PAYMENT PAUSE ON STUDENT LOANS INTO 2023

On Nov. 22, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education announced another extension of the pause on student loan repayment, interest, and collections. Payments may not resume until as late as 60 days after June 30, 2023.

The Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments to allow for the Supreme Court to rule in the case on the one-time student debt forgiveness plan.

The pause was set to expire on Dec. 31, 2022, after President Joe Biden extended it in August at the same time he announced the forgiveness of up to $20,000 in student loans for qualifying loan holders. At the time, the White House called that extension “one final time.” (It was the second time they said “final” though.)

Biden said the latest extension to 2023 is meant to “alleviate uncertainty for borrowers” as his planned changes in federal student loan debt are buffeted by legal challenges that could end up being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Callous efforts to block student debt relief in the courts have caused tremendous financial uncertainty for millions of borrowers who cannot set their family budgets or even plan for the holidays without a clear picture of their student debt obligations, and it’s just plain wrong,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.

The White House says, “Borrowers can use the additional time to ensure their contact information is up to date with their loan servicers and consider enrolling in electronic debit and income-driven repayment plans to support a smooth transition to repayment.”

How to Handle Student Federal Loan Debt?

More than 45 million people collectively owe $1.6 trillion in student loans, according to U.S. government data.

Ending months of speculation on whether he would cancel federal student loan debt, President Biden in August announced that each American who earns less than $125,000 per year ($250,000 for married couples) will be eligible for $10,000 in federal student loan cancellation.

He also announced that qualifying Pell Grant recipients can receive an additional $10,000 in debt cancellation (for a total of $20,000 in student debt relief). Federal Pell Grants
usually are awarded to undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need.

Other reforms to federal student loans were announced, ranging from expanding the Public Student Loan Forgiveness Program to opening up income-driven forgiveness policies so that people burdened with loans can get more relief.

Federal Student Aid created a web portal specifically for applications for debt cancellation, and about 26 million Americans paying off federal student loan debt applied for that loan relief. (Currently, the portal is not accepting new applications while the Biden administration seeks to overturn a Texas court order to stop.)

According to the White House, of that 26 million who applied, 16 million borrowers have been approved.

Challenges Mount to Biden Reforms

But several challenges to student loan reform sprang up, coming at the White House from different directions. It has been blasted for being unfair in how it chooses recipients, a potential contributor to inflation, and an overreach by the President.

Biden’s plan was contested by six states that argued it evaded congressional authority and threatened future state revenues. Some legal experts question whether using the Heroes Act is appropriate. They point to a clause in the act that says action on student financing can only be taken to ensure people “are not placed in a worse position financially” because of the emergency.

In October, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a temporary stay to delay delivery of debt relief until the court ruled on an expedited appeal. The following month the court issued an injunction to halt delivery of relief.

Meanwhile, a federal judge in Texas declared Biden’s student debt relief program illegal. The administration has filed an appeal to this decision in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In November, the Biden administration filed an application with the US Supreme Court to vacate an injunction preventing the federal student loan forgiveness plan from going into effect.The U.S. Justice Department in a filing said that the ruling leaves millions of economically vulnerable borrowers in limbo.

The department also suggested the Supreme Court could bypass the appeals court and hear the dispute itself on an expedited basis, with a decision by the end of June 2023.

While these legal challenges play out, the Department of Education has stopped taking applications for debt cancellation, as noted earlier. Its site says it is holding applications that have already been submitted.

The Takeaway

President Biden has extended the pause on federal student loans payments into 2023, although the exact date cannot yet be determined. This deadline was extended because of the legal challenges to Biden’s attempt to cancel up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt held by eligible borrowers. The additional time is supposed to give loan holders more time to deal with the resumption of paying.

Student loan refinancing is one way holders of debt can seek to make their student loan payments more manageable. If your federal debt is more than the amount of forgiveness you are eligible for and you are worried about rising interest rates, you can refinance just the amount that will not be canceled. Just know that the refinanced amount will lose access to federal protections and programs, including the payment pause that has been extended until 2023.

SoFi Student Loan Refinance
If you are looking to refinance federal student loans, please be aware that the White House has announced up to $20,000 of student loan forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for qualifying borrowers whose student loans are federally held. Additionally, the federal student loan payment pause and interest holiday has been extended beyond December 31, 2022. Please carefully consider these changes before refinancing federally held loans with SoFi, since the amount or portion of your federal student debt that you refinance will no longer qualify for the federal loan payment suspension, interest waiver, or any other current or future benefits applicable to federal loans. If you qualify for federal student loan forgiveness and still wish to refinance, leave unrefinanced the amount you expect to be forgiven to receive your federal benefit.
