The Afterschool Child Enrichment (ACE) program in Ohio unlocks exciting opportunities for students to enrich their learning beyond the regular school day. This state-funded initiative provides eligible families with up to $1,000 per child in grades 6-18 to fuel exploration into a diverse range of activities. From music lessons and art classes to STEM programs and educational technology, the possibilities are endless!

Designed to support students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, ACE prioritizes access for families with income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, participants in programs like Medicaid or SNAP, and those residing in high-absenteeism districts.

The Afterschool Child Enrichment Education (ACE) Savings Account program closed on October 15, 2025.
