ACE

Architecture. Construction. Engineering.

The ACE Mentor Program of America, Inc. (ACE) helps mentor high school students and inspires them to pursue careers in design and construction.

Our mission is to engage, excite and enlighten high school students to pursue careers in architecture, engineering, and construction through mentoring and to support their continued advancement in the industry.

More than 9,000 students from 1,000 high schools annually participate in ACE.

ACE not only engages sponsors and volunteer mentors to expose students to real-world opportunities, it financially supports each student's continued success through scholarships and grants.

Since inception, ACE has awarded over $15 million in scholarships to promising participants.
