Ascendium Education Group, Inc.

Ascendium promotes postsecondary success in a variety of ways: We’re one of the nation’s biggest higher education and workforce training philanthropies, awarding millions of dollars per year in grants to colleges, researchers and other changemakers aimed at helping more learners from low-income backgrounds complete postsecondary and job training credentials. We help student loan borrowers avoid and recover from the devastating impact of default. And we develop and market products and services that help colleges better support their students’ financial well-being.
