The Award

A boost for the next step up.

The "Ascend Academic Achievement Award" is for students who are reaching for something, and could use a hand getting there. We do not ask for a certain GPA or a famous school. We just want to hear where you are headed.

Tell us who you are, what you are working toward, and a few sentences in your own words. That is the whole thing.
