Too many children in the U.S. do not have access to the quality education they deserve. While children of middle and high-income families have the privilege to attend high-performing public or private schools, children of financially disadvantaged families do not. Many of the schools that serve lower-income neighborhoods are poorly funded and underperforming, and as a result, their road to high academic achievement and success is far more arduous. ACE Scholarships believes that a child's education should not be determined by his or her zip code, and that parents know the educational needs of their students best. In order to break the cycle of inequality in education, ACE provides underserved children with access to quality K-12 schools via partial tuition scholarships. An ACE scholarship is an opportunity for lower-income children to experience the value of attending a high-performing school. However, the positive effects of an ACE scholarship extend beyond the students and their families, helping establish stable neighborhoods and communities. An ACE scholarship can follow a student throughout his/her K-12 journey.
