Elevating Opportunity

About us

Ascendium is committed to making education and training after high school a reality for learners from low-income backgrounds. Through our national education philanthropy, we fund systemic change to ensure learners from low-income backgrounds have a path to upward mobility available to them. As a student and employee success solutions provider, we support colleges and employers in promoting academic achievement, long-term financial wellness, and student loan repayment success. In our role as an education impact investor, we invest in education-focused companies that create and develop innovations to improve learner outcomes. As a federal student loan guarantor, we help borrowers avoid defaulting on their student loan or get their student loan back in good standing if they've already defaulted. For the past four years, we’ve been named a Top Workplace, both nationally and in the Madison, Wisconsin, area. We’re proud of these designations as they speak to the culture we’ve created — one where employees feel connected to our organization and believe in our goal of elevating opportunity through postsecondary education and workforce training.
