Returning families will not be required to upload documents, except for families in Louisiana and those awarded through the Philanthropic Investment in Arkansas Kids Scholarship (tax-credit) Program as required by law. Additionally, the updated income eligibility guidelines for the 2025-2026 school year can be found in the charts below. Eligibility is based on household’s total income, including taxable (line 9 on the 1040) and nontaxable income.
To enhance clarity and ensure families apply directly to ACE, families cannot apply for an ACE award through their school’s application in FACTS. Instead, they should utilize an ACE-specific application within FACTS. There will only be one application fee to avoid any additional costs. The link to the applications for each market can be found here.
