Support ACE Students

Phoenix College ACE Alumni: 
Let's Gather & Make a Difference!

On April 19, join us to celebrate friendships, new grads, and the program that has shaped our successes.

As an ACE alum, you were challenged to exceed the expectations most teenagers face. Today, the program continues to empower young people to step outside their comfort zones, and successfully transition from high school to community college, university, or both.  You're invited to reconnect with the friends, instructors, and staff who made your time in the program memorable, and contribute to the successes of rising students, who are following your footsteps.

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.

Whether ACE has contributed to your personal success, or you simply want to stand up for access to higher education, please consider contributing to the program through the Event & Donation Center below.

Every contribution, no matter how great or small, will make a difference in the life of a future ACE scholar. Your generosity will support our unique and holistic model through:
