Granite Edvance. Granite Edvance is a New Hampshire-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students and families plan and pay for education. Both Granite Edvance and EdvestinU offer private undergraduate and graduate student loans, parent loans, and refinance loan options, serving New Hampshire residents and borrowers nationwide, respectively.

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.) has reintroduced legislation to prevent borrowers from defaulting on their student loans by allowing the Department of Education (ED) to notify at-risk borrowers and automatically enroll them in income-driven repayment (IDR) plans.

As part of the Trump administration’s broader efforts to reduce and prevent student loan default, the Department of Education (ED) via a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) on Wednesday announced a new initiative aimed at providing support to institutions in managing student loan default.
