Scholarships are so vital in helping students stay in school.
I feel good about being able to give someone a boost to finish their education. Students terminated their studies due to a variety of personal and social factors which, combined, over-rode any motivation the student had to continue his or her education. ACE and its related programs prepare students for the realities of college life by arming them with the skills they need to use in overcoming difficult situations, both at school and in other areas of their lives. Participants, many the first in their families to attend college, are recruited in their sophomore year of high school with the assistance of their high school counselors and teachers. Students are selected through a competitive process which requires an application, references and an interview.
