Office hours at community colleges
In 2025 we introduced “office hours” at community colleges to provide personalized assistance with the FAFSA and other financial aid questions, an event Sharleigh, one of our Education Funding Specialists really enjoyed. Read more about our work throughout the state in our 2025 Annual Impact Report, and follow us to see our ongoing impact in 2026: https://graniteedvance.org/newsroom/granite-edvance-presents-2025-annual-impact-report/
Thinking about a private student loan and wondering why they keep asking for a cosigner?
Here’s the deal:
Most students don’t have much credit history or steady income yet. Lenders want to know the loan will get paid back, so a cosigner (like a parent or guardian) helps “back you up.”
- Increases your chances of getting approved
- Can help you get a lower interest rate
- But they’re equally responsible if payments are missed
No cosigner? It’s still possible—but you’ll usually need solid credit + income on your own.
Before you borrow, make sure you understand what you’re signing up for.
