A Loan of Up To $30,000 for 4th Year Medical Students and 1st Year Residents*

The Sallie Mae^® Medical Residency and Relocation Loan

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
This loan is a loan of up to $30,000 that is available to 4^th year medical students and 1^st year residents.* This loan can be used to cover costs associated with taking board examinations, traveling or interview, and moving for your residency.

If you are about to graduate and think you may need additional funds during the summer between graduation and your first residency paycheck, this loan provides a great solution. You can take control of your money; the loan is sent directly to you. There is no origination fee or penalty for paying off your loan before its due date.¹ You can also lower your total student loan cost by getting a 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction when you enroll in and make monthly payments by auto debit.²

As a first year resident, you may realize the expense of relocation and setting up in a new city has depleted your resources. With this loan, you can defer your principal and interest payments while you're enrolled at least half-time and during your grace period (three years after you graduate or nine months if you leave school or drop to less than half-time status).² You can also request lower, interest-only payments for the first two or four years of repayment. After that, you'll make principal and interest payments for the rest of the loan repayment term. ³

- No Payments required for 36 months after graduation²
- Competitive Interest Rates
- You're in control of your funds — all disbursements are made directly to you
- No Application Fee - No Origination Fee - No Disbursement Fee
- Prepay your loan at any time without penalty¹

1. Although we do not charge a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as outlined in your promissory note - first to Unpaid Fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to Current Principal.

2. Advertised APRs for Residency and Relocation Loans assume a $30,000 loan disbursed at the time of student's graduation from school. Interest rates for variable rate loans may increase or decrease over the life of the loan based on changes to the 30-day Average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent. Advertised variable rates are the starting range of rates and may vary outside of that range over the life of the loan. Interest is charged starting when the funds are sent to you. For those who graduate, the grace period is 36 months. For those who withdrawal or whose attendance falls below half-time status, the grace period is 9 months. Once principal and interest repayment begins, any Unpaid Interest will be added to Current Principal, increasing the Total Loan Cost. To receive a 0.25 percentage point interest rate discount, the borrower or cosigner must enroll in auto debit through Sallie Mae. The discount applies only during active repayment for as long as the Current Amount Due or Designated Amount is successfully withdrawn from the authorized bank account each month. It may be suspended during forbearance or deferment.

3. Requests must be received in writing. Interest Only payments will not extend the loan term, but they will increase the Total Loan Cost. Plus, monthly payments following the Interest Only ones will be higher than they would have been otherwise.

Residency and Relocation Loans are intended to cover expenses not included in your school's cost of attendance.

Residency and Relocation Loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank. Information advertised valid as of April 16, 2024. PhysicianLoans is not the creditor for these loans and is compensated by Sallie Mae for the referral of Residency and Relocation Loan customers.
