For over 30 years, there has been a growing crisis in American education. Too many kids are falling through the cracks. They’re either not reaching their full potential or dropping out altogether, which is having enormously negative consequences on their lives and our communities.
But by supporting ACE Scholarships, you can change the story — today.
Changing a
kid’s desk
can change
everything.
A lot of kids from low-income families have been failing because they’re stuck in underperforming public schools. Or schools where they don’t feel safe. Or schools that lack the structure to fit their needs. And yet, there are thousands of open desks at excellent private schools. But the problem is low-income families can’t afford to send their kids to these schools. Well, ACE Scholarships is changing that.
With an ACE scholarship,
it’s a whole new story.
Kids from low-income families are given financial assistance and access to schools that are a better fit for them. And as things like safety, support and academic rigor improve, so does success. In fact, over 90% of ACE Scholars graduate from high school each year. And they’re enrolling in and graduating from college at rates similar to kids from predominantly high-income high schools.
Why ACE works.
We’ve already changed the story
for thousands of kids.

That’s our stand. At ACE Scholarships we’re committed to helping lower-income parents provide that opportunity to their children. Our mission is to provide children of lower-income families with scholarships to private schools in grades K-12, and to advocate for expanded school choice.
