Building the Future
2026 ACE Scholarships
Annual Luncheon
May 6, 2026
12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Denver, CO
This year, as our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, we reflect on the many ways education and opportunity have shaped America. From the six branches of our military to the skilled trades that built this country, and the entrepreneurs who continue to drive its innovation. Our future has always been crafted by people who learned, worked, and served with purpose.
At ACE Scholarships, we know that changing education is the foundation for every future, no matter which path a student chooses. This year, we proudly broaden the story we tell to celebrate the many directions education can lead.
Because education doesn’t point in only one direction. It points in all of them.
And Changing Education Changes Everything for students who become service members, first responders, skilled tradespeople, entrepreneurs, as well as those who pursue college degrees. Their stories remind us that opportunity is not one-size-fits-all; it is personal, powerful, and transformative.
