Over one-third of Wyoming’s 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 2017, ACE Wyoming has provided a solution.

Last year, almost 450+ students applied for an ACE scholarship—but more than 75+ were turned away largely due to a lack of funding. The demand is real and the results are proven, but we need your help.

Since its founding in Wyoming in 2017, ACE families have accepted more than 1,975 scholarships totaling over $4.7 million. ACE Scholarships has also established partnerships with 30 partner schools throughout the state. During the 2025/26 school year, 347 scholarships were delivered and the demand continues. Our vision is that every child has access to a quality education, so our work here is not done.

The image shows a school‑style portrait of a young child centered against a softly blended blue studio background. The child is framed from the shoulders up, wearing a dark short‑sleeved polo shirt and clear rectangular glasses. Hair is neatly trimmed, and lighting is even, creating a clean, professional portrait appearance.

A photo of Lisa Russell. The image shows a professional head‑and‑shoulders portrait displayed inside a circular frame outlined by a thick orange border, set on a transparent checkerboard background. A single adult is centered and faces forward. The person wears a tailored jacket over a light top and a layered necklace. Hair is styled in soft, shoulder‑length waves. The background within the circle is softly blurred with brown and neutral tones, suggesting an indoor environment with controlled lighting and shallow depth of field.
