Scholarships

Students

ACET offers twenty scholarships annually to graduating high school students. The tuition scholarships are for $1,000, and are payable directly to the college, university, or other post-secondary institution of the student's choice. Student applicants must provide documented proof of participation in a compensatory education program sometime during their school career. The definition of compensatory programs is a program that provides remedial assistance and support for students who have failed TAKS or are at-risk of dropping out of school. Additional programs include programs for migrant, Title I, Bilingual/ESL, and pregnant or parenting students. Applications will be available for download in late January of each year.

Paraprofessionals

ACET also offers four scholarships annually to paraprofessionals who wish to return to school to pursue a degree and teacher certification. Applicants must submit proof of a high school diploma or GED and currently be working with a school district in a compensatory program. Applications will be available for download in late January of each year.
