Does my child qualify for a scholarship?
ACE scholarships are based solely on family income. See the chart for ACE Scholarship financial eligibility.
How much are the scholarships?
ACE Scholarships are partial tuition, intended to provide added assistance lower-income families may need to enroll their child in a private school. Standard ACE award amounts are $3,000 for K-8 and $4,000 for high school (9-12). Families are responsible for working out a payment plan with the school for the remainder of the tuition.
What schools participate?
A wide variety of private schools partner with ACE Scholarships. It is up to the families of potential scholarship recipients to select the best school for their child. To see a complete list of schools in Montana scroll down. Don’t see your private school choice on our list? Reach out to us to inquire about partnering with ACE.
The ACE Scholarship can follow your child.
ACE Scholarships follow the student. If a student is awarded an ACE scholarship, those funds are portable and may be used at any ACE Scholarships partner school. So, if the private school selected ends up not being the right fit, the child can transfer to another partner school, and the scholarship goes with them.
*Elite School, over $20,000 tuition. ACE scholarships provided only for returning ACE students and siblings.
