Check your pre-qualified rates without impacting your credit score.
If you don’t qualify for a loan in your own name or for the full amount needed to cover your expenses, please consider applying with a creditworthy cosigner. Cosigners have an obligation to make payments should you default. You can apply to release your cosigner after making the first 24 consecutive, regularly scheduled full principal and interest payments on-time and meeting the other eligibility criteria to qualify for the loan without a cosigner, including meeting the program requirements for a solo student borrower, as well as electing to make payments via Automatic Debit. The student borrower must make the request to release a cosigner directly with Launch Servicing or the loan holder.
Note: The option to apply to release the cosigner is only available to student borrowers that are U.S. citizens or have U.S. permanent resident status and is not available to DACA students.
Build credit in your own name when you apply to release your cosigner after 24 payments and meeting other criteria.
Choose from affordable fixed or variable rates, customize your repayment terms, and pay off your loan early without any penalty.
Cover up to 100% of your costs of attendance. Plus, you can get 1% cash back and a discount if you set up automatic payments.

The best thing about Ascent is the fact that they make the process easy . I was able to do everything online and the money was sent directly to my school.
