Frequently asked questions
Will I lose PSLF if I refinance my Georgetown University loans?
If your loans are federal, yes. Refinancing into a private loan permanently forfeits PSLF, IDR, deferment, and forbearance. If your loans are already private, this does not apply. When in doubt, run the breakeven calculator.
What rate should an NP expect?
Strong-credit working NPs are seeing 4.5% to 7.0% fixed on 5- to 15-year terms in 2026, depending on credit score, debt-to-income, employment tenure, and balance. Variable rates run lower up front but reprice.
Do I need a cosigner?
Usually not, if you are at least 12 months out with steady NP income. Juno's marketplace filters for lenders who underwrite working NPs without a cosigner where possible.
