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 The Fair Hearing, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Easy to work with!! Funds directly to college was awesome!
By Patty
Automation can be a good thing, BUT...Would have really liked to get some questions answered 1:1 with a human being. Confusing credit rating vs interest rate relationships. Annoying duplication of effort when the same borrower applying for 2 different students.
