No, but rates for undergrads are typically higher without a cosigner. Most undergraduate students have limited credit history and income; having a cosigner with a solid financial history and good, established credit may help improve your chances of loan approval. It might even help you qualify for a lower interest rate. With SoFi’s online application process, you and your cosigner can see what rates and terms you pre-qualify for before submitting your full loan application—and it won’t impact your credit score.

* Interest Rates: Eligibility and Important Details. Fixed rates range from 3.54% APR to 15.99% APR with all discounts. Variable rates range from 4.64% APR to 15.99% APR with all discounts. Unless required to be lower to comply with applicable law, Variable Interest rates are capped at 17.95%. SoFi rate ranges are current as of 6/1/23 and are subject to change at any time. Your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed above and will depend on the term and type of repayment option you select, evaluation of your creditworthiness, income, presence of a co-signer (if applicable) and a variety of other factors. Lowest rates reserved for the most creditworthy borrowers. Check out our eligibility criteria at https://www.sofi.com/eligibility-criteria/. For the SoFi variable-rate product, the variable interest rate for a given month is derived by adding a margin to the 30-day average SOFR index, published two business days preceding such calendar month, rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of one percent (0.01% or 0.0001). APRs for variable-rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases. The SoFi 0.25% autopay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. This benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your monthly payment. This benefit is suspended during periods of deferment and forbearance. Autopay is not required to receive a loan from SoFi.
