For prospective editors and news enthusiasts, these scholarships offer a priceless chance to advance their professions.
Two well-known editors are honoured with the ACES Scholarships. The late 1990s saw the founding of ACES, with a major contribution from Merv Aubespin, the former president of the National Association of Black Journalists. An exceptional student is given the Aubespin Scholarship each year in honour of his legacy.
