ACE offers eleven (11) scholarship opportunities inspired by ACE’s seven current and past Board of Trustees members and its four major areas of focus. Awards are applied to tuition only and are disbursed pro rata per term for the remainder of the applicant’s program until the award amount has been exhausted. Both new and current ACE students are eligible for the Board of Trustees and General Scholarships. Prior scholarship recipients are ineligible for future scholarships unless they graduate from one program and return for a new program at ACE.
