Laurel Road refinances student loans for working professionals with four-year undergraduate and/or graduate degrees from Title IV accredited institutions, as well as for professionals who have an associate degree* in designated professions. Graduate students and undergraduates can refinance student loans as early as their final semester of school, so long as they have a signed contract or letter of employment. We also refinance student loans for parents who took out debt to finance their child’s education. To be eligible for the Parent Student Loan Refinancing Program, the child must have attended a Title IV School but does not need to have graduated. Loan eligibility depends on lending criteria, such as your credit profile, monthly income, and monthly debt payments.

Also, the applicant must either (1) be currently enrolled in and in the final term of the associate degree program at a Title IV eligible school with an offer of employment in the same field in which they will receive the associate degree or (2) have graduated from a school that is Title IV eligible with an associate degree in the following eligible programs:
