The ACCE Scholarship recognizes students who use their skills, leadership, and passion to create meaningful change in their communities. More than a scholarship, it represents a commitment to community empowerment, service, and using education as a tool to uplift others. We are proud to celebrate these students and the impact they continue to make on campus and beyond.

Applications for next year’s scholarship will be opening soon. We encourage all students engaged in community-centered work to apply!

As we wrap up another school year, we want to thank all of our members, supporters, volunteers, and community partners for their continued support. 💜 Your dedication and involvement helped make this year a success, and we’re grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together.
