AHEC Career Enhancement Scholars (ACES)
Applications are due by September 15 every year
ACES is a year-long high school career preparation program that provides opportunities for students with a strong desire to pursue a career in health care. The program is designed for multi-year participation. The longer the student is involved, the more they get out of it and the better our relationship grows!
Students selected for the ACES program receive:

One-on-one career counseling session
-
Networking with students from across the metro and other counties
-
Networking with health professionals
-
Visits to health profession training programs and schools
-

Volunteer opportunities

Letters of recommendation
This is a competitive program and up to 45 students from the county are accepted each year. Applications may be summited throughout the year but the program runs September - April each year. Along with the application, students must have a 3.0 minimum GPA, a letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor or community member, and provide a short essay on their health career interest.
Workshops are held one Saturday a month from October - April.
