The added relief of financial strain…
The added relief from financial strain really has helped ease my mind while I'm in school.

Ascent is built around one guiding principle: Student loans should expand possibilities, not limit them. That’s why Ascent created a private student loan program that gives students more opportunities to qualify for a loan, with or without a cosigner. Ascent encourages transparency and financial wellness by incorporating financial education into the application process, preserving the notion that an education is an investment where students and families should understand the return on their investment relative to the cost. Ascent offers benefits (such as 1% cash back, scholarships, a Refer a Friend Program, a Rewards Program, and more) as well as resources that set students and families up for financial success.
Ascent Funding (ascentfunding.com) has 579 customer reviews on Five Star Index, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Impossible to contact a LIVE person. The automated system provides borrowers in repayment with 3 options, none of which allow us to speak to a LIVE person. They sent me one email outlining the payment amount, then sent me another, then sent a text with a different amount. A joke to work with and would never recommend to anyone.

I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience with Ascent Funding. From the very beginning, the application process was clear and straightforward — no hidden steps, no confusing fine print. Everything was laid out in a way that made me feel informed and comfortable. What stood out to me most was how helpful and responsive their team was. Whenever I had a question, I received a clear and kind answer. It made the whole experience feel less like a transaction and more like genuine support. As someone who values trust and transparency, I truly appreciated how Ascent handled everything with professionalism and care. I'm grateful for the opportunity their support has given me to continue growing in my education and career. Thank you, Ascent Funding, for being a reliable part of my journey. 🙏
