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.

I secured the loan with no issues, and so far I believe they will handle my ability to repay it based on where I am in my career. Right now, that is still hunting for my first role with no income. But as soon as I am in a paying role, I will gladly pay off my student loan. It was a great decision.

I didn’t like how I qualified for a certain interest rate. Then when I went to accept the rate it was higher. Application was easy to fill out. Bummed I didn’t qualify for a lower interest rate. Like the way it break down what it means when choosing how to pay back the loan. We chose immediate repayment.

Ascent gave me a chance to study, but I ran out of free time to complete the course within the scheduled time. I would give it another try after I pay what I owe. Ascent funding is trustworthy and I appreciate the people that work within the organization.
