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.

With Ascent the process was far more open and easy to understand compared to College Ave and SallieMa. Rates more competitive.

Excellent.they both were so patient with me, looking for items. Great kind wonderful guys. It was quite frustrating looking for all the documents. They waited, then got some approval s on my documents. I am a school bus driver so my paystubs aren’t all year. So maybe something to put in your notes for that kind of job. Thank you guys for you kindness and PATIENCE with me……🙏💓💗
