Invest in your child's future
One plan, everything included. No hidden fees, no upsells—just real mentorship from students who've been where your child is now.
Ascend Mentorship
Select your child's dream school—we'll assign them a mentor who knows it inside and out.
Everything included
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Not happy with your match? We'll rematch you for free.
Why $360/mo instead of $5,000+ for traditional counseling?
Traditional college consultants charge thousands and often feel impersonal. Ascend Mentors are students themselves—no corporate overhead, no stale advice. Your child gets someone who just navigated the exact process they're facing, at a fraction of the cost.
Frequently asked questions
How are mentors selected for my child?
We match your child based on their dream school, personal interests, and location. Every mentor attends or was accepted to their target university.
What if we're not happy with the match?
No worries! We'll rematch your child with a different mentor at no extra cost. Your family's satisfaction is our priority.
How often does my child meet with their mentor?
Your child gets 4 calls per week with their mentor, plus unlimited async messaging in between. Our administrative team is also available to support you throughout.
Is the Essay Bank included automatically?
Yes! Every registered member gets instant, full access to the Essay Bank the moment they sign up.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts. You can pause or cancel your membership at any time.
What else does my child get beyond mentorship calls?
A lot! Our team provides administrative support throughout the entire process. We share internship and research resources, group students together for passion projects, and your child has free range to ask any of our mentors questions at any time — not just their assigned one.
