• The Maricopa Community College's Achieving a College Education (ACE) program is a two-year program designed to increase the number of students that graduate from high school, matriculate to college and earn a degree or certificate.  ACE targets first-generation high school students.  Students that are selected at the end of 10th grade start the ACE program during the summer between the 10th and 11th grades.  ACE offers a supportive cohort-based program that offers participants the opportunity to begin earning college credits, strengthen academic skills and raise self-esteem. Achieving a College Education (ACE) | Chandler Gilbert Community College (cgc.edu)
