STATES WE WORK IN » ARKANSAS
This is more than the story of America’s educational crisis. It’s the story of how we can solve it.
There’s a crisis in American education. Too many kids from lower-income families are falling between the cracks simply because they’re stuck in failing schools and can’t afford any other options. And it’s happening right here in Arkansas.
ACE Scholarships was founded in 2000 to provide these lower-income parents with school choice for their families through partial scholarships to K-12 private schools. In 2018, Arkansas became the eighth state to join ACE’s national efforts.
ACE serves the children of lower-income families, the majority of which qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
100% OF STUDENTS
from lower-income families with ACE scholarships graduate high school
ONLY 80%
of Arkansas students from lower-income families graduate high school
MORE THAN 1,700 SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDED
But with your support, we could help hundreds more
Give a child the promise of a better tomorrow by becoming a donor today.
Please help us provide scholarships to lower-income children all over Arkansas and let’s give children from lower-income families the opportunity for a great education and a lifetime of success. You can empower children with a quality, life-changing education at the elementary or high school of their dreams by donating all or a portion of your state income taxes to ACE through the Philanthropic Investment in Arkansas Kids Scholarship Program. For those inclined to make a difference and fortify our Arkansas community, this program is a no-brainer. Eighty-six percent of every donation to ACE directly funds a child’s scholarship, and the taxpayer receives a 100% state income tax credit. That’s a small investment for an enormous benefit to kids who need it most.
