Ascent Student Loans believes students have the power to make positive social changes, so they are supporting students who are committed to speaking up and using their voice to make an impact. The Ascent Team was so inspired by recent student comments on their social media channels that they built a new monthly scholarship opportunity for students where they can share the social causes they're passionate about and what they're actively doing to make an impact. “We want to continue supporting students and the social causes important to them, as well as fight racism – especially for young students pursuing a higher education." - Ken Ruggiero, Chief Executive Officer of Ascent Students can learn more and enter for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship at: AscentStudentLoans.com/SocialCauseScholarship.
