Building Kansas’s Future – One Student at a Time
Almost half of Kansas’ 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 2016, ACE Kansas has provided a solution.
Last year, over 1,900 students applied for an ACE scholarship—but more than 850 were turned away largely due to a lack of funding. The demand is real and the results are proven, but we need your help.
