This is more than the story of America’s educational crisis. It’s the story of how we can solve it. There’s a crisis in American education. Too many kids from low-income families are falling between the cracks simply because they’re stuck in failing schools and can’t afford any other options. And it’s happening right here in Utah.

ACE Scholarships was founded in 2000 to provide these low-income parents with school choice for their families through partial scholarships to K-12 private schools. ACE serves children whose families qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program and the average income for our ACE families is $43,766 a year.

For 22 years, ACE Scholarships has provided quality education options for families in need. The results are amazing with 90+% of ACE scholars consistently graduating high school. Moreover, they’re graduating from college at a rate nearly double that of their peers from predominantly low-income high schools.*

Today, we continue to expand our network of partner schools in an effort to send more of our nation’s kids to the schools their families have decided are right for them. We are excited to expand our scholarship program with the launch of ACE Utah in 2022 because we know the right school can help change the story for a child in need.
