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.

Since I'm not computer savvy, I needed a lot of help to fill out areas for co-signing for my granddaughter's loan. A very smart and polite young lady, Valentina Wilson, helped guide me through the process. She was so helpful and patient with me that I wanted to let management know that you have a great employee with her in your company!! Thank you, Valentina!!!!
