Apply With a Cosigner
While not required, we strongly encourage undergraduate students to apply with a creditworthy cosigner if they may have difficulty qualifying for a loan due to limited income and credit history. This may increase an applicant's chances of approval and of possibly obtaining a better interest rate.
Please note: due to federal regulations, Charter One is required to provide every potential borrower with disclosure information before they apply for a private loan. To view the required application solicitation disclosure information please click here.
