Ascendium Education Group

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 success solutions provider, we support colleges, universities, and other organizations 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. For the past six 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.
