Most undergraduate students will need a cosigner to take out a private student loan.
If you’re thinking of cosigning a loan, here’s what to know:
- The cosigner is just as responsible for the debt as the student. Late payments or failure to make payments will affect your credit report, and you may become liable for the remaining debt on the student loan.
- Some lenders offer “cosigner release” after a certain number of on-time payments, along with meeting income and credit requirements. Ask your lender if they offer cosigner release and what the requirements are.
- A good budget and good communication are key for borrowers and their cosigners. Talk to your student about how to budget for their student loan payments, and make sure your own budget can cover them if your student can’t pay.

Before you borrow…
…or refinance, know what you’re really signing up for. Whether you’re just starting college or considering refinancing your current loans, this tool can help you make informed decisions.
Our Student Loan Calculator helps you estimate costs for a new student loan, see how refinancing affects your monthly payments and total interest, compare different loan terms and interest rates, and make a smart plan to repay with confidence.

Our Impact
In 2025, we donated $200,000 to student aid funds in the Community College System of New Hampshire and the University System of New Hampshire. We first collaborated with the CCSNH in 2024 to establish the fund, meant for students struggling with short-term, non-academic expenses, and were excited to be able to not only partner with them again, but also donate money to the USNH.
