Hi and welcome to ACE Scholars Services! When it’s time to apply for college, there is a lot to think about… How to apply? When? What about financial aid? What are the options for student housing? I’m here to help. I look forward to supporting you throughout this process, and I invite you to contact me with any questions that you may have. Let’s work together as you transition from being a high school senior to becoming an ACE Scholar at CSUSM.
