ASCÉNTO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Investing in education. Creating opportunities.

Ascénto invests in Wisconsin students as they pursue higher education and prepare for their futures. Through tuition scholarships, we help reduce the financial burden of earning a degree while connecting students to a community of professionals, partners, and leaders across Wisconsin.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Ascénto offers two scholarship opportunities to help students cover tuition expenses as they pursue higher education in Wisconsin.

We award two types of scholarships:

• Ascénto Scholarship: Provides tuition assistance to students pursuing a 2-year, undergraduate, or graduate degree in any major or eligible training program at a Wisconsin college or university.
• Ascénto Law Scholarship: Awarded in partnership with the Wisconsin Hispanic Lawyers Association (WHLA), this scholarship provides tuition assistance to students enrolled at Marquette University Law School or the University of Wisconsin Law School. One student per school is awarded.

Scholarship recipients are recognized at our annual Scholarship Reception, where they have opportunities to connect with sponsors, higher education partners, and members of the Ascénto network.
