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.

What made my experience great, is the quality of how Ascent has been helpful from the beginning. They have been professional, responsive, and punctual in keeping me informed about my account, loan information, and any updates I needed to know. I appreciate the communication and the way they have kept me up to date throughout the process. My experience with Ascent has been positive so far, and I’m grateful for the support they have provided.

Made it super easy to apply and accept my loan. Now I know my school is paid for, along with interest not going to the Fed. Keeping a fixed rate with easy payment

My son and I used AscentFunding.com for a private student loan to cover his remaining student aid balance for his first year of college. The whole process was simple and straightforward from start to finish — no unnecessary hassle or confusing paperwork. We were approved quickly, and the funds were disbursed fast, which made a real difference during a stressful time. Would recommend to any other parents or students looking for a smooth private student loan experience.
