Join us for #GivingTuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving back, giving you the opportunity to join thousands of others in supporting a cause close to your heart. We hope you’ll choose ACES. Giving Tuesday is a perfect time for you to join the scores of donors who have already given generously this year to the ACES Education Fund or add to your previous gift.

Six scholarships are awarded annually through the ACES Education Fund. The winner of the Bill Walsh Scholarship, made in honor of the late editor, author, and ACES guiding spirit, receives $3,500 plus financial aid to attend ACES' annual in-person conference, held this year in San Diego. Four winners will receive $1,500. One recipient will be named the Aubespin Scholar and receive $2,500. All five winners also are eligible for aid to attend the conference.

The ACES Education Fund also awards the Richard S. Holden Diversity Fellowships, made in a partnership with the Dow Jones News Fund. This program is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion by advancing early- and mid-career professionals in their work as editors and aspiring industry leaders. Our goal is to enable participants to obtain the training and support they need for a faster track to success.

The generosity of donors enables all of these awards.

By giving, you help ensure the future of our profession. Please consider the ACES Education Fund. Step back from Black Friday and Cyber Monday and help a cause you believe in.

Help us reach our Giving Tuesday goal of $13,131 and 131 donors.
