Over the past year, 88% of our students received some form of financial aid. As you’re working towards acceptance, you can start learning more about our financial aid options below.

Loans_

An investment in your education is an investment in your future – We’ve partnered up with select institutions to offer flexible financing options.

Students may also finance their tuition through outside lenders, such as credit unions or personal bank loans.

Ascent Funding
