Ascensus Shows Continued Support for Bottom Line Organization

DRESHER, Pa. - April 26, 2017 - PRLog -- Ascensus College Savings, the nation's #1 529 program manager in 529 plan assets under administration, served as a corporate sponsor of Bottom Line organization's 12^th Annual Get in, Graduate, and Go Far Dinner held on April 6, 2017, at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

This year marks the 20^th anniversary for Bottom Line, a non-profit established in 1997 to provide low-income and first-generation college students with mentoring and professional development opportunities. Nearly 1,000 corporate and community leaders came together to celebrate Bottom Line's programs and support thousands of students throughout Massachusetts.

Both current students and Bottom Line alumni took the stage to share their stories and describe the impact that the organization has had on their lives. Ascensus associates and leaders were in attendance, including two Bottom Line program alumni who represented the talented professionals that this program fosters.

"Attending Bottom Line's annual event really puts into perspective the importance of saving for college and what a college education can mean to these students," states Kevin Cox, chief operating officer at Ascensus College Savings.

In addition to providing financial sponsorship, Ascensus College Savings has partnered closely with the program to offer Bottom Line students internship opportunities. The firm continues to employ Bottom Line students during college breaks and is actively assisting some of those students in their job searches during their senior year. Ascensus' leadership team is also coordinating with Bottom Line to develop opportunities for Ascensus associates to mentor and conduct interview preparation workshops with program students.

"Ascensus College Savings is happy to provide its continued support for an organization whose mission and values so closely align with those of Ascensus," states Jeff Howkins, president of Ascensus College Savings. "Through our continued partnership, we hope to help more students make their college education and career dreams a reality."
