ACE Program
Overview
The Achieving a College Education (ACE) program began in the summer of
1988, targeting high school students who may not consider earning a college
degree as an attainable goal. This program is designed to help create a
smooth transition process from high school to college.
We serve a total

high school districts and charter schools.

Students meet during regular summer sessions and every Saturday during
the fall and spring semesters.
