Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be my cosigner?

Your cosigner must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with good credit history and stable income. They can be a family member, friend, or trusted professional.

Why do I need a cosigner?

As an international student, you may not have U.S. credit history. A cosigner’s credit profile reassures lenders and helps you access better loan terms.

Is collateral required for this loan?

No, these loans are usually unsecured. Your cosigner’s creditworthiness replaces the need for collateral.

How will my cosigner be impacted if I miss payments?

If you miss payments, it will appear on your cosigner’s credit report and may harm their score. They are legally responsible for repayment if you default.

Can my cosigner be released from the loan in the future?

Yes, some lenders allow “cosigner release” after you make a set number of on-time payments and pass a credit check.

Can my cosigner’s existing debt affect my loan approval?

Yes. If your cosigner has high debt, it could limit the amount you’re eligible to borrow.

What are the repayment terms?

Terms range from 5 to 15 years, with flexible plans including interest-only payments while in school.

Can I have more than one cosigner?

No, you can only have one cosigner at a time.

Can I track my loan and repayment status with my cosigner?

Yes, most lenders offer online account access for both you and your cosigner to monitor payments.
