Every child deserves a great education.
That’s our stand. At ACE Scholarships we’re committed to helping low-income parents provide that opportunity to their children.
A child’s academic ability is not defined by the color of their skin, or their Zip code, or their parents’ financial means…but it is affected by the quality of school a child attends, and the quality of teacher a child has in his or her classroom.
ACE is a Denver, Colorado non-profit focused on low-income scholarships and school choice programs. Through charitable contributions from private citizens, corporations and foundation, we raise funds to provide partial tuition scholarships to low-income children in grades K-12 so they may attend a quality private school and get the head start they need to be successful beyond high school – in college, in their career and in life.
Since 2000 ACE Scholarships has supported more than 3,000 children with scholarships worth more than $17.8 million. During that time we’ve received well over 12,000 applications from parents seeking financial aid. We currently have a wait list of more than 1,000 kids hoping to obtain a scholarship and have been forced to turn away more than 5,000 children since 2000.
So our work continues until our vision is realized – that every child in Colorado has access to a great school.
