In order to be considered for the ACE scholarship, students must meet the following requirements:

• Complete final portfolio project

• Participate actively in class

• Complete the whole program (12 weeks)

Steps

We recommend the following steps as you prepare your application:

1. Research the course, training program, or other expense you would like the scholarship to cover. Speak with your advisor about how this will help you towards your goal. Review your selection together.

2. When you have identified a program or vendor, submit the scholarship application. You will be asked to share:

• What program are you applying for? Please include as many details as possible: the name of the certificate or degree, the name of the education/training provider.

• Why did you select this program? How does this align with your career path? Why is the program a good fit for you? Include as much detail as possible in your answer

• Full program cost

• Start and end dates

• Program website

• Your resume and ACE portfolio

3. When you are ready, complete the Scholarship Application. Scholarships typically take 1-2 months to process fully. Most scholarships are processed as a reimbursement to you, although other options are available. We recommend you do not spend money until you know your scholarship has been approved.
