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.
Ascent Funding (ascentfunding.com) has 579 customer reviews on Folks Told, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Quick and easy I had a few catches with the paperwork and the customer care was excellent. Got everything sorted the same day and it was much less stressful because of it.

Once I had all my information ready to go, the entire experience was quick and seamless. I felt confident my documents were handled securely every step of the way. The funds were delivered fast and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service.
