Are you ready to embark on a new career journey?

Students who would like to move forward must complete the following steps:

Submit the online application along with the $45 application fee below.

Applications submitted without the $45 application fee will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed. 

Upon receipt of your application, our admissions office may reach out for more information or send you an invite link to join an upcoming group virtual interview or individual interview. 

Upon notification of acceptance into the school, students must be prepared to pay $180 registration fee prior to participating in New Student Orientation.  

The registration fee covers the administrative cost of onboarding the student, including enrollment processing and preparation for the program.

This fee does not reserve a seat in class.  However, at this point students are eligible to apply for external scholarship as they have been officially accepted as a student of Ascend.

To officially reserve a seat in a course of study, students must submit a $1,500 enrollment deposit.

Because class sizes are intentionally limited, seats are secured only after the deposit is received.  Payment plans are available.
