Ascent Financing Options for Welding Students

The Ascent financing program at Western Welding Academy gives students another pathway to cover tuition costs. This option is designed for students who need flexible financing terms that fit their situation, whether they are applying with a cosigner or on their own.

With Ascent financing, you can spread your tuition payments over a timeline that works for you. Interest rates and repayment terms depend on your credit profile and whether you apply with a cosigner. Most students start with deferred payments while they are in training and begin repaying after they graduate and start working.

Western Welding Academy programs range from 12 to 24 weeks. The Foundational Pipe Welder program costs $17,050. The Professional Pipe Welder program is $27,600. The Expert Pipe Welder program is $35,800. And the Advanced Structural Welding program is $25,800. Ascent financing can cover part or all of these costs depending on your approval.

The numbers make the case. Graduates of Western Welding Academy earn an average tuition payback in 5 to 7 months. 94% are hired within 90 days. That means most students who finance through Ascent are earning well before their repayment schedule ramps up.
