Ascent Funding is an award-winning student lender on a mission to revolutionize how students’ access and pay for higher education, and succeed in their post-education careers. Established in 2015, Ascent is built around one guiding principle: Student loans should expand possibilities, not limit them. Committed to revolutionizing how students pay for higher education, Ascent created a new private student loan program that gives students more opportunities to qualify for a loan with or without a cosigner, including DACA students. In an effort to encourage transparency and financial wellness for student borrowers, Ascent incorporates financial literacy/education into the application process as a requirement for student borrowers in order to complete and submit their application. We have a variety of financial wellness resources dedicated to students, to include over $80,000 in annual scholarship giveaways, at AscentFunding.com/Financial-Wellness and resources to help empower students to make better financial decisions today and in the future at AscentFunding.com/Resources. Students can also visit our growing YouTube channel for videos on financial tips and best practices throughout college and beyond.As one of the few lenders serving DACA students, we are proud to share DACA students are now eligible to apply for an Ascent loan WITHOUT a cosigner. Both DACA students and International students are eligible to apply for an Ascent loan with an eligible cosigner. Ascent’s recent awards include:Ascent’s Cosigned Loan chosen as NerdWallet’s 2021 Best-Of Awards winner for Best Private Loan and 2022 Best Student Loan for Flexible Repayment Ascent’s Outcomes-Based and Non-Cosigned Loan selected as NerdWallet’s 2022 and 2021 Best-Of Awards winner for Best Student Loan for Independent StudentsBest Private Student Loan for 2021 and 2020 by Forbes Advisor and ranked among the best of across eight loan categoriesVoted Best Places to Work by the San Diego Business Journal for six years and in 2022”
