With more than 55 years of experience, we’ve earned a reputation of trust through an unmatched knowledge of federal student loan policy, programs, and servicing.
We are Ascendium®, a mission-driven nonprofit that invests over $100 million annually to make education and training beyond high school a reality for more learners. We’re driven by our values, not by profits, to support academic achievement, long-term financial wellness, and student loan repayment success. Our customers include the U S Department of Education, colleges and universities, employers, and financial institutions across the country. We provide student success solutions to improve persistence and completion, and student loan benefits to help employees more easily navigate student loan repayment.
Our offerings help employers provide student loan repayment benefits. Easy to implement and customizable to the goals of the employer, our solutions let employers make contributions to help pay down employees’ student loans and/or verify employee student loan payments to support matching contributions to a retirement account.
Our online education tools and personalized counseling support help employees who are recent grads and have never been in repayment, or seasoned grads who may be eligible for forgiveness, as well as parents who borrowed for their children’s education.
