ABOUT ACES

 

Achieving Collegiate Excellence and Success (ACES) is a collaborative effort between Montgomery College, Montgomery County Public Schools, and the Universities at Shady Grove to support students and provide a seamless path to

a bachelor's degree.

 

The ACES student support program provides academic coaches to targeted high school students in ten Montgomery County Public High Schools, at all three Montgomery College campus locations, 

and at the Universities at Shady Grove.

 

The coaches provide both academic and student support, using a case management approach. Coaches meet individually with students and provide:

  • Test preparation

  • Tutoring

  • Assistance with college applications and financial aid/scholarship applications

  • College visits

  • College transfer workshops

  • Other support services as needed 

 

ACES coaches identify and neutralize barriers to student success that may prevent a student from degree completion.

"I graduated from Gettysburg College and have 2 Masters degrees from George Mason University and Loyola University. My passion is helping students achieve their dreams of attending college! I am bilingual in Spanish and English y tengo un Corazon Latino! I love watching American Football, Soccer, and College Basketball. My hobbies include hiking, playing guitar, cooking, and spending time with my 2 daughters who are 5 years old and 7 months old."
