Within 24-48 hours of submitting an application, families will receive a notification verifying their student’s eligibility in the program, as well as the enrollment preference category they belong to. This notification means we have verified the student as a K-12 eligible student who is a state resident. Approval notifications will go out no later than May 3, just a few short days following the close of the application window. Because applications must be assigned an enrollment preference, we are unable to make award notifications prior to the close of the window. If a student is placed on the waitlist, the email notification will include that student’s place in line, along with a link to the ACE Access portal where families can check their waitlist placement throughout the school year.
