Cognition Financial

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 educational 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.
