Can't Attend? You Can Still Support the ACE Program!
ACE, formally known as Achieving a College Education, was founded in 1988 to support the aspirations of high schoolers considering college. Now supported by all ten of the Maricopa Community Colleges, the two-year program is designed to increase the number of students graduating from high school, continuing to college, and earning a degree or certificate.
Selected from an applicant pool of high school sophomores throughout Maricopa County, incoming ACE students can earn up to 24 college credits, while learning skills to succeed in the post-secondary environment. Visit the main program pages to learn more.
