Our Network
The New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF) Network has nearly 60 years of experience in helping New Hampshire families plan and pay for higher education. The NHHEAF Network aspires to be recognized as a capable, trusted, and innovative leader in educational loan services that enhance the promotion, advancement, and support of higher education for our state and our region. As such, we provide K – 12 and postsecondary students and schools with expertise in every aspect of the student loan industry.
In April 2020, The NHHEAF Network was formed as two of our entities – the New Hampshire Higher Education Loan Corporation (NHHELCO) and Granite State Management & Resources (GSM&R) - merged together, resulting in one combined nonprofit organization. Our loan servicing operations continue to do business as GSM&R nationwide.
As a nonprofit lender, proceeds are reinvested in borrower incentives which reduce the cost of borrowing, scholarship programs which reduce the need to borrow, and educational outreach which increase aspirations for higher education.
