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.

Before We sat down to start filling out…
Before We sat down to start filling out the application for my son's college financial loan we were dreading the hassle of phone calls and the run around of filling. To our surprise it really was not painful at all, it didn't take long and was a pleasant experience! Thank you Ascent.

Fast, simple, and incredibly helpful
So helpful and easy! One of the only loan providers to help me despite my complex course load. Customer service was also wonderful, the longest part of the entire process was waiting for my school to distribute the funds.

System and process was very easy
System and process was very easy. I was disappointed in the interest rate. I felt that the advertisement was misleading and it would have been lower.
