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:

• Portfolio to track activities

• 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

• Leadership development

• Volunteer opportunities

• Letters of recommendation 

 

This is a competitive program only 50 students (at most) from the counties Jackson, Lafayette, Cass and Johnson (MO) are accepted each year.  Workshops are held October - March each year.  Along with the application, students must have a 3.0 minimum GPA, submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor or community member, and provide a short TYPED essay on their health career interest.

​
