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.

We were approved for $30,000 and filled out all the approval documents for $30,000 and then without telling us they only gave us around $21,000. This would have been great info since we had made plans for paying for tuition and now it’s too late and we are stuck. Not impressed. I’m

Your company was fine. It was a fast and easy process. However the interest rate on loans should be illegal. It's absolutely insane.
