Dr. Shanequa N. Scott is the Founder and Chancellor of Ascend Christian University, an institution created from her passion for education, leadership, faith, purpose, and helping others move beyond limitations.

​

Her vision for Ascend Christian University was built around one powerful belief:

Education should help people discover who they are, understand their purpose, and become equipped to make a meaningful impact.

​

Dr. Scott is an entrepreneur, educational leader, mentor, and visionary whose work centers on creating opportunities for individuals who desire to grow academically, professionally, personally, and spiritually.

​

Through Ascend Christian University, she has focused on developing programs that serve individuals pursuing Christian ministry, leadership, counseling, education, entrepreneurship, and faith-based service.

​

Her leadership philosophy is rooted in faith, perseverance, excellence, service, and transformation.

​

Dr. Scott believes that a person’s past does not have to determine their future and that with the right opportunity, education, guidance, and determination, individuals can rise beyond circumstances and create something greater for themselves, their families, and their communities.

​

Her mission extends beyond education.

It is about building people, developing leaders, creating opportunities, and helping individuals recognize the greatness that already exists within them.
