The experience from application to the service was simple, straightforward and painless.

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.

Love that a human always answers the phone quickly and you don’t have to go through a million prompts! They were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks!

This kind of opportunity, that has become this accessible to the ones who really need it makes it my top choice for implementing a shift in career pathways. The application is easy and straight forward and support is always so easy to talk to.

The loan process was pretty easy, but I did not receive documentation that funds had been turned over to MeritAmerica until after I applied for the microinternship position. And when ai checked my app there were many learner activities about first day success, giving me the impression that I was chosen only to inform me that applications were no longer being accepted.

So I needed a loan to continue my education, and you all provided me with one. I maxed out my FAFSA, and this gave me the opportunity I needed to get back into the workforce. I was unable to find a job without being active in some way. So thank you for that!
