The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Division (CEWD) established the Ms. MacKenzie Scott Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) Scholarship to award $1,000 scholarships to support the educational transition of Hostos students that completed a continuing education (CE) program and seek to enroll in a degree program. The funds can be utilized by the students for any transition to college expenses such as: college application fees, books, tuition, transportation, child care, among others. Students that maintain and/or achieve a minimum 3.0 GPA at the end of each semester will be awarded a $500 scholarship to support their continued enrollment. The President’s Office hosts a special reception in honor of the students’ accomplishments upon the completion of the fall and spring semesters.
