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.

We had some confusion in the process mostly because I did not clearly understand how to provide the proper information that you needed. Your staff was very helpful in guiding me through.
