ACES students come from underrepresented populations in higher education and are often the first in their family to pursue college. In unison with our 14 high school partners and a dedicated team of community college and university-based student success coordinators, we wholeheartedly invest in the potential of our students, fueling their aspirations for academic and professional growth. ACES serves as a catalyst, bridging the gap between dreams and reality, by providing indispensable academic guidance, college preparation, scholarship support, and equipping students with the necessary career readiness skills for their future accomplishments.
