Ascent Launches Second Annual 50 Days of $1,000 Scholarships

SAN DIEGO, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascent Funding, LLC, an award-winning, education finance company that gives students more opportunities to pay for college with or without a cosigner, announced the launch of their second annual 50 Days of $1,000 Scholarships. Starting today, students across the U.S. can enter for their chance to win a $1,000 scholarship every weekday through August 10, 2020.

Ascent will post a new scholarship on AscentStudentLoan.com/Scholarship every weekday. To enter for a chance to win, students will be asked to share their feedback on topics ranging from financial wellness, tips to find a job and more on their social channels where students can engage and inspire one another. Students do not need to have an Ascent loan to participate and will have multiple chances to win.

"We see our scholarship program as an opportunity to help empower students not only financially but also by increasing their financial education," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ascent, Ken Ruggiero. "And ultimately, we want them to inspire each other as they share their challenging experiences and thoughtful insights."

Ascent's summer scholarship program offers a platform for students to share experiences on their journey to paying for college. Ascent leverages these student insights to improve Ascent's loans, resources and exclusive student benefits.

"I am so eternally grateful to Ascent for the scholarship that I received because it allows me to afford continuing my education and purchasing the books that I need for all of my classes," said a past scholarship winner, Emiline S. "It really just put me one step closer to earning my bachelor's degree."
