Building Arkansas’s Future – One Student at a Time
Over 60% of Arkansas’ K–12 students may be eligible for an ACE scholarship, yet many remain stuck in underperforming schools solely due to their zip code. Every child deserves access to a quality education—no matter where they live
Over 70% of families WANT school choice, but only a fraction have access. ACE Scholarships is changing that by offering partial scholarships to eager students.

Our Model Works
Since launching in 2018, ACE Arkansas has provided a solution.
Last year, almost 3,700 students applied for an ACE scholarship—but more than 400 were turned away largely due to a lack of funding. The demand is real and the results are proven, but we need your help.
