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 Rated Honest, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Very easy loan process. Had an issue with reaching customer support, but that has been resolved. Outside of that issue, everything else has been very efficient and great experience.

Straightforward application and disbursement process. I applied, was approved for a student loan within a week, and the disbursement was processed by my university during the first week of classes. This straightforward loan process took a lot of stress off my shoulders. Thank you!
