Too many kids are falling through the cracks. They’re either not reaching their full potential or dropping out altogether, which is having enormously negative consequences on their lives and our communities. But by supporting , you can change the story — today. Change the Story » 1.2 MILLION students drop out of high school every year. That’s one student every 26 seconds. 11% The percentage of students from low-income families who meet the benchmark in all areas of the ACT. 2/3 More than two-thirds of inmates are high school dropouts. Changing a kid’s desk can change everything. A lot of kids from low-income families have been failing because they’re stuck in underperforming public schools. Or schools where they don’t feel safe. Or schools that lack the structure to fit their needs. And yet, there are thousands of open desks at excellent private schools. But the problem is low-income families can’t afford to send their kids to these schools. Well, is changing that. Learn More » With an ACE scholarship, it’s a whole new story. Kids from low-income families are given financial assistance and access to schools that are a better fit for them. And as things like safety, support and academic rigor improve, so does success. In fact, over 90% of ACE Scholars graduate from high school each year. And they’re enrolling in and graduating from college at rates similar to kids from predominantly high-income high schools. 98.9% High school graduation rate Our ACE Partner schools have a 98.9% graduation rate. Most of our graduates go on to college, trades, or military. 2x ACE scholars graduate from college at a rate nearly double that of their peers 100% of ACE college graduates earn a bachelor’s degree or higher Why ACE works. 1. WE CREATE CHANGE ONE KID AT A TIME. For every $3,000, we can get one student out of a situation where they are struggling and into an environment where they can thrive and succeed. 2. FAMILIES KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR KIDS. The family identifies the right private school for their child and then applies for an ACE scholarship through that school. 3. Every kid has the potential to be a successful student. They just need to find the right fit. ACE scholarships are based solely on financial need. 4. EVERYONE HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN SUCCESS. While ACE scholarships cover a portion of the cost, the recipient’s family typically pays one-third of the tuition, while the school covers the rest. This way, everyone is invested in the kid’s success. We’ve already changed the story for thousands of kids. A few of those kids would like you to know theirs.
