Important Update for the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program:
As dictated by contractual obligations and direction from the Utah State Board of Education (USBE),
ACE Scholarships has closed all Utah Fits All Scholarship Program (UFA) portals and transferred UFA operations and data to the USBE,
the temporary UFA bridge program administrator and financial services provider.
Therefore, please direct any questions regarding your student’s scholarship to the contact information USBE has provided:

We wish you and your students the very best and look forward to future opportunities to serve you!
ACE Scholarships
This kid is going to drop out.|
For over 30 years, there has been a growing crisis in American education. Too many kids are falling through the cracks. They’re either not reaching their full potential or dropping out altogether, which is having enormously negative consequences on their lives and our communities.
But by supporting ACE Scholarships, you can change the story — today.
1.2 MILLION
students drop out of high school every year.
That’s one student every 26 seconds.

Changing a
kid’s desk
can change
everything.
A lot of kids from low-income families have been failing because they’re stuck in underperforming public schools. Or schools where they don’t feel safe. Or schools that lack the structure to fit their needs. And yet, there are thousands of open desks at excellent private schools. But the problem is low-income families can’t afford to send their kids to these schools. Well, ACE Scholarships is changing that.
With an ACE scholarship,
it’s a whole new story.
Kids from low-income families are given financial assistance and access to schools that are a better fit for them. And as things like safety, support and academic rigor improve, so does success. In fact, over 90% of ACE Scholars graduate from high school each year. And they’re enrolling in and graduating from college at rates similar to kids from predominantly high-income high schools.

Why ACE works.
1. WE CREATE CHANGE ONE KID AT A TIME.
For every $3,000, we can get one student out of a situation where they are struggling and into an environment where they can thrive and succeed.
2. FAMILIES KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR KIDS.
The family identifies the right private school for their child and then applies for an ACE scholarship through that school.
3. Every kid has the potential to be a successful student.
They just need to find the right fit. ACE scholarships are based solely on financial need.
4. EVERYONE HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN SUCCESS.
While ACE scholarships cover a portion of the cost, the recipient’s family typically pays one-third of the tuition, while the school covers the rest. This way, everyone is invested in the kid’s success.
We’ve already changed the story
for thousands of kids.
A few of those kids would like you to know theirs.
