“ACE taught me that life might not be ideal but if you put in the effort, you’ll see the results. I didn’t allow opportunities to pass me by. I learned from the program that opportunities are out there, you have to seek them out and apply for them. Half the battle is showing up for the opportunity. What you put in is what you’re going to get out of it.”

"This scholarship not only lifts the financial constraints that often impede educational advancement but also affirms my resolve to be an agent of change."

"Not only does this scholarship aid me in my educational funds, but it also helps me focus on areas in my life that are equally important.

"Seeing that I got this scholarship was almost unreal to me because I didn't think I would be one of the lucky students to have this opportunity, so I want to thank you for that. I was so excited that I went and told my mom right away, and the smile on her face was proud, so I thank you again."
