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.

Awesome loan application experience!
Working with Ascent on securing a private educational loan was by far the most efficient compared to other loan vendors. The opportunity to adjust all criteria associated with the application also made for a very flexible experience. Add to that the wonderful support person who patiently worked with me during the entire loan process.
