      The Accelerate, Complete, Engage (ACE) program, a sister program to ASAP, continues to demonstrate strong outcomes for CUNY students. The program shows significant benefits in terms of graduation rates and long-term economic impact.

      • Supports nearly 3,000 students across seven CUNY senior colleges
      • Students in the program achieved a four-year graduation rate 12.4 percentage points higher than non-participants
      • A recent study found net benefits of nearly $43,000 per ACE participant, primarily driven by greater lifetime earnings
      • The study also found an average benefit of over $25,000 for the children of ACE participants
