SoFi ReFi Program Is Now Available at 27 Schools

SoFi ReFi Program Is Now Available at 27 Schools 

In May we introduced the first phase of SoFi ReFi, our graduate loan refinancing program, to five schools: the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School, MIT’s Sloan School of Business, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Business and worked closely with the alumni community at these schools to get the program up and running. The first few months have gone well and we’ve had a great response from both students and alumni to the program.

Our intent was to expand the program to more schools as soon as we could and I’m proud to say that we’ve been able to that very quickly. Today we announced the addition of 22 more schools to the SoFi ReFi program. Now, qualified applicants who received graduate degrees in business from the following schools can refinance their existing student loans at a fixed rate of 5.99% APR* with no origination fees:

1. Babson College Olin Graduate School
2. Boston College Carroll School of Management
3. Boston University School of Management
4. Brigham Young University Marriott School of Management
5. Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business

With far too many business school graduates paying student loan interest rates of 7.9% or higher, there is no better time for a program like this. We offer a better option to help students save thousands of dollars on existing loans with our alumni community-based loan consolidation solution.

We pool investments from each school’s alumni community and use those funds to provide loans to its students and recent graduates. Because the loans are financed by members of a school’s alumni community, we’re able to offer qualified borrowers benefits substantially comparable to those offered by the government’s loan program at fixed interest rates more favorable than those of the government’s unsubsidized Direct and PLUS loans, and much more favorable than virtually all fixed-rate private offerings.***

We’ve also released our new $100/$100 summer savings referral program. The $100/$100 program saves borrowers even more on their student loans when they help expand SoFi’s social network with friends and family referrals.****

* This product requires the borrower to sign up for automatic ACH payments. A 6.24% (6.24% APR) fixed rate loan consolidation product is also offered that does not require sign up for automatic payments. Both APR assumptions are based on a $10,000 loan, 15 year repayment term, and beginning monthly repayment 30 days after loan origination. Your APR may increase or decrease based on your own circumstances. You will receive a customized APR estimate during the application process.

*** Direct Loans and other private loans may offer benefits not offered by SoFi. Please carefully consider all your options. For information about federal loan benefits, see: https://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/federalaidfirst/index.html.

**** SoFi’s $100/$100 policy will provide $100 toward a borrowers outstanding SoFi loan for each new SoFi borrower referred. Additionally, any borrower referred by an existing SoFi borrower will also receive $100 toward his/her SoFi loan payment. Terms and conditions apply. Complete details of the program, which expires September 30, 2012, can be found at SoFi.com.
