Proceeds will benefit the AACE scholarship program. It is for adults, 16-years-of-age or older who are ready to commit to completing a degree, certificate, or workforce training program. This fund supports students who demonstrate financial need with tuition, textbooks, and program expenses. Our goal as always is to provide our Rio students opportunities as they pursue their education.
