Undergraduate Student Loan Cosigner

Undergrads typically take out student loans with a cosigner. Students usually don’t have enough credit history to be considered ideal candidates for a loan. Lenders will likely require undergraduates to apply with a qualified cosigner who will be equally responsible for repaying the loan. It’s a serious ask, but a student loan cosigner’s good credit history and belief in the student will help them reach their goals in college and beyond.

Co-Signer of the loan

I signed as a co-signer for my daughter for a college loan. The process was simple and easy. I was approved very fast and didn't have to wonder if I was approved. The whole process was quick and easy. I also want to say I had a couple of questions and I emailed the questions. Someone emailed me back quickly and was very helpful as well. Thank you
