Ascent Launches Outcomes-Based Lending Options for Bootcamps
Students, including those with DACA status, attending accelerated learning programs can apply for Ascent's Outcomes Loan to cover their school costs.
On a mission:
Ascent is on a mission to provide access to education for millions of underserved students every year. We believe education is an investment in students’ futures, and we want to empower students of all economic backgrounds and disciplines to maximize the return on that investment.
Loans should expand your possibilities, not limit them.
Ascent is built around one guiding principle: loans should expand your possibilities, not limit them. That’s why we give you more opportunities to qualify for a loan, with or without a cosigner. Ascent advocates awareness of the potential outcomes when financing your education, helping you visualize where your career could go and what it could be – encouraging better decisions today to open up greater future opportunities.
We support you on your journey to financial wellness, no matter where you are on your educational journey. Ascent offers free resources that set you (and your family) up for financial success to help you thrive in school and beyond.
Ascent’s college loans consist of private student loans with cosigners or without for those attending undergraduate and graduate programs. Ascent’s bootcamp loans are consumer loans for those seeking to transform their career at a bootcamp or an accelerated-learning program.
