Ascent Funding

About Ascent Funding

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.

Dealing with s bot not a human
Ascent is just like other players (sallie mae, AES, Earnest) when it comes to deciding upon rates (fixed vs. variable), term of loan, payment options. The process feels very restrictive and you do not get your questions answered. Dealing with your bank loan specialist is better snd you walk away feeling good.

I applied and everything was handled very quickly and professionally, I am thankful and grateful for this opportunity, this loan has helped me with the daily travel expenses and lunch.
Helping people not have to struggle, removing the stress of something simple as getting to class. This loan program allows learners to focus on the courses and do well. I appreciate all the support from per scholas and ascent.

Taking the pain out of giving loans
The speed with which the funds wee disbursed. The fact that I will not have to worry about paying any interest on the loan. The affordable repayment amount gives me room to breathe and even increase it when I can.

Smooth, clear, and supportive experience from start to finish
My experience with Ascent Funding has been excellent. The application process was straightforward, the instructions were clear, and every step moved quickly without confusion. I appreciated how transparent the communication was — from identity verification to loan updates, everything was easy to follow. As someone balancing training and finances, having a lender that keeps things simple and professional made a big difference. I would definitely recommend Ascent to other students looking for a reliable funding option.
