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.

Happy Customer!
I gave a five star review mainly because of the customer service and the agent who answered all my questions. Borrowing a large sum of money for an education is very uncomfortable, but Ascent agents walked me through the process and were very friendly. I also had some issues and customer service was amazing!
