ACE/FAAE Programs

Providing Models of Excellence

Mrs. Bush has long been passionate about the arts, education, and the healthy development of children.  In 1999, she translated that passion into action by collaborating with Arts for a Complete Education/Florida Alliance for Arts Education (ACE/FAAE) to develop the Arts Recognition Scholarship Program. This program focuses on raising the statewide importance of the arts in Florida’s schools and communities.  Each year, ACE/FAAE awards high school seniors representing dance, music, theatre, and visual arts with $1,000 scholarships on the basis of artistic merit and academic excellence.  The scholarships are intended to assist students with pursuing further study in their chosen art form.  To apply, download the 2007 Arts Recognition Scholarship Program information and application below..
