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.

Andrew
This loan helped me further my career aspects and once I get a job in the It Field, I will immediately pay it back and recommend it to friends/colleagues!

Ascent made getting funding for school simple, and fast! Also, they make it easy to communicate with them when I had questions.

Customer service lacks comprehensive skills needed to assist borrowers. On multiple occasions you will call and get a multitude of different inconsistent answers. Their inability to troubleshoot simple scenarios is a red flag. I strongly advise not to do business with this company.

Staff are very rude! The process took so long that my daughter was unenrolled from school and then after they told her the loans weren’t possible anymore, you all processed them. We will never go through you all again for a student loans!
