Our mission is to champion opportunity — to make the benefits of postsecondary education more attainable for all
Discover the divisions of Ascendium. Each is focused on elevating opportunity and enabling student success.

We elevate opportunity
We’re a nonprofit organization. We’re a loan guarantor. An education philanthropy. We provide tools and services that drive postsecondary education and career success. And we believe in the power of education and workforce training to expand opportunity.

ATTIGO
We provide student loan and debt repayment support and financial wellness products to help change the trajectory of students' lives.

EDUCATION PHILANTHROPY
Through four focus areas, the projects we fund help learners from low-income backgrounds succeed in postsecondary education and workforce training.

DEFAULT LOAN HELP
We help borrowers with student loans in default get back on track.

ACCESS YOUR LOAN INFORMATION
Looking for your lender? The National Student Loan Data System can help — it’s the Department of Education’s central database for loans.
We give back
From time to time we make donations to organizations that fall just outside the framework of our philanthropy program’s funding strategy but still support our mission to elevate opportunity. Some examples include support for United Way agencies in the communities where our employees live and work, grants to Madison-area nonprofits doing racial justice work and computer donations to community-based centers.
