The 2018-2019 program is underway!
The ACE Mentor Program of Washington has around 270 students and 220 mentors participating in the 2018-2019 ACE program! This year there are 11 mentor teams around Puget Sound, with seven in Seattle, two on the Eastside, one in Auburn/Federal Way, and one in Tacoma.
What is ACE?
Since 2001, the ACE Mentor Program of Washington has helped more than 2,000 students learn all about the architecture, engineering, and construction professions. Are you fascinated by the art of architecture? Are you interested in how buildings withstand earthquakes? Are you intrigued by sustainable “green” building design? Are you wondering how a building can start out as an idea and become reality? Join the ACE program! Our program is free to students, thanks to donations from local firms, mentors, parents, and other supporters. To date, we have also given $659,000 in scholarships to students who pursued A/E/C fields at the university level.
During the ACE Mentor Program, teams visit major construction sites, complete projects, and meet bi-monthly at mentor firm offices. Qualifying high school seniors are awarded scholarships and many students remain in touch with industry professionals for continued mentoring with career choices, college and internship applications and future employment opportunities.

Our Projects
Each year the teams are assigned a project. Students and their mentors work diligently preparing for the Final Presentation Night where each team showcases their year-long effort. Over the years, team projects have included a new basketball arena for the Sonics, community centers in South Lake Union, a ski lodge on Steven’s Pass, a new Seattle Aquarium, high-rise towers on Lake Washington and many more.
Scholarship Program
The ACE Mentor Program of Washington has awarded $659,000 to countless seniors since 2001. Most of our scholarship recipients have gone on to study architecture, engineering, or construction at the university level, and many have returned to the Puget Sound to work professionally and some even participate as mentors with ACE! ACE works!
At our annual Industry Leaders Reception in June 2018, ACE awarded $89,000 to 15 seniors! The scholarship application for the 2018-2019 student program will be available in March 2019 and will be awarded in June 2019. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, check out ACE’s Scholarship page which outlines multiple scholarship opportunities for students pursuing building industry careers.
