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 Consumer Courier, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Pretty seemless process. Was a litttle surprised by the rate given our credit score.

Everything went well! A little more clarity on the repayment process would be helpful in the future. Thank you for seeking my input!

set up was easy, interest rate pretty good, nice feature to adjust payments options that displays total interest charged payment premiums etc. Not impressed that the loan was split equally between the semesters. It was not clear that this would happen and we did not see an option while setting up the loan to choose to use it to pay the first semester up front.

The Rep was helpful in answering all my questions and helping me understand the general process of the application. It was a pleasant interaction.

When I co-signed my grandson's student loan, I realized that I was now on the hook for what he borrowed. What I didn't realize was the extent to which I would be hearing from the lender. Since I am 85 years old and not comfortable with electronic devices, directions to do something were unsettling.
Response from Ascent Funding· May 13, 2025
Hello Lenore! By agreeing to be a cosigner you are also agreeing you will be equally responsible for the debt. This is why the loan appears on your credit report, which is standard practice for all cosigned loans. We are happy to discuss your specific situation in more detail by calling our customer service team at 877-216-0876.
