FAMILIES
Families that make less than $30,000 per year
contribute, on average, $1,750 towards their child’s
tuition each year.
$
SCHOOLS
Partner schools recognize that a child paying a portion of
the tuition is better than an empty seat, so our schools
invest almost $3,200 per ACE scholar.
$
ACE
ACE closes the financial gap by giving an average
scholarship of $2,500 per year.
