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.

Most of the process was easy, there was some confusion when my student was still 17.

Hello Casey, we appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Thank you!
Extremely easy process from applying to the school receiving the funds. The interest rate is higher than expected and would be the only thing I’d change.

The application process was fairly easy and the loan funded excatly when Ascent said it would. The interest rate is too high but was in line with other student loans were offering. Thank you for your service.

Hi Robert, thank you for taking the time to write a review!
System and process was very easy. I was disappointed in the interest rate. I felt that the advertisement was misleading and it would have been lower.
