Undergraduate & Graduate Career Loan Cosigner

Students typically don’t have enough credit history, so lenders don’t consider them the best candidates for a loan. Lenders will likely require the student to apply with a helpful cosigner who will be equally responsible for the repayment of the loan. It’s a serious ask, but your good credit history and belief in the student will help them reach their goals in college and beyond.

Applying and Processing Student Loans

College Ave Student Loans made applying and receiving student loans easy. The paperwork for the student and the parent co-signer was completed quickly and smoothly. The transfer of the loan funds was on time for classes and very professional. This is the second year for my student to use College Ave for funding. Thank you.

Plus, using the tool won’t impact your credit score. Pre-qualification isn’t a full review or guarantee, but it may help you decide if you want to submit a full application.
