ACE Scholarships was founded in 2000 to provide low-income families with access to K-12 private schools through partial tuition scholarships. ACE believes that every child should have access to a quality education; therefore, scholarships are allocated purely on need.
We would like to introduce you to Dale, a 2024 graduate and Daniels Scholar.
Dale is a J.K. Mullen High School graduate whose goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon and “help underprivileged kids receive the care they need and educate them to live healthy lifestyles." His accomplishments are numerous and include the title of 4x State Wrestling Champion and a cumulative GPA of 4.20.
He continues to set the bar high and is committed to attend Princeton University to pursue a degree in chemistry. Before stepping on campus, he is taking a gap year to train at the Olympic Training Facility, with a goal to make his Olympic dream a reality.
In Dale's own words: "This opportunity at Princeton has been made possible through a series of steps. ACE Scholarships, schools like Mullen, and donors like you empower students to accomplish remarkable things."
To advance K-12 educational freedom, with a focus on securing financial support for families so they may access the quality education of their choice.
Across our nation but especially in our urban areas, too many children from lower-income families are trapped in zip codes with poor performing schools. Consequentially, lower-income students have shown lower academic outcomes than their peers. In an effort to close this achievement gap, ACE was founded to provide lower-income children with access to quality private schools.
For 24 years, ACE scholars have consistently attained higher graduation rates than their lower-income peers, providing evidence that once empowered to choose the educational setting that is best for them, any child can succeed.
Since our founding, ACE has delivered more than 39,800 scholarships in Colorado, exceeded $93 million in paid scholarship commitments, and currently partners with 176 private schools across the state.
