The First Marblehead Profile and History

Cognition Financial (formerly The First Marblehead Corporation) was founded in 1991 with the goal of helping students reach their educational goals through access to funding. Cognition Financial has leveraged innovative thinking and analytical rigor to develop innovative financial and technological products for our partners and their clients. Originally, Cognition Financial changed the way educati onal institutional loans were facilitated. Cognition Financial then changed availability of and access to education loans for students and their families. Through the Monogram Loan platform, along with our lender partners, Cognition Financial changed the structure and flexibility of private student loans. Now, through the raise^ private student loan program which we designed in conjunction with, and which is offered through, our lending subsidiary, Cognition Lending, we are increasing the availability of funding. Looking forward, Cognition Financial will marry capital needs with capital resources to develop new, inventive products.
