The program truly helps connect students with real mentors, education and resources that can change their lives and academic futures.
UT Health Science Center
I think this is a nice program. I've never heard of companies doing something like this and I've never got these kinds of phone calls and check-ins. It's a lot going to school, and this is a nice way to help us out... having someone to talk to and discuss things. It's kind of nice to see a big company reaching out and making an effort to know their customers.
Long Island University
My coach knows my goals and knows how hard I have been working for it.
West Coast University
I have in my mind these loan people as corporate 'meanies', so the idea of Ascent trying to help out is disorienting and cool.
Portland State University
My favorite thing is the flexibility to choose how I interact. I'm so busy with jobs, school, trying to launch my own career and so one more thing would literally make me explode so I like how I can wait until I'm ready to get into it.

My coach took the time to get to know me so she could cater my needs as well as help to guide me along the way.

Our AscentUP-trained intern was easy to work with and ready to tackle projects. AscentUP educated our intern on the best tactics to use when working with a non-profit and offered managing guidance to our staff. All in all, the experience was wonderful, and we look forward to remaining a partner in the future.

There was some hesitancy at first to bring on early career professionals, but by the end of their short-term project, the team was asking when we could hire more!
