The Jackrabbit ACE First Bank and Trust Scholarship provides opportunities for economically disadvantaged high school juniors and seniors to enroll in reduced tuition dual credit courses at SDSU*. Enrolled dual credit students who qualify for the Jackrabbit ACE Scholarship will receive a scholarship that funds one reduced tuition dual credit course (up to five credits) each semester of their junior and senior year of high school and the summer between their junior and senior year. Starting fall 2021, this scholarship will also cover the cost of textbooks for that one course.
Students can pay for additional dual credit courses if they choose to enroll and they will also be eligible for the Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship if they enroll at SDSU as a college freshman.

Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship
The Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship is available for any student who enrolls as a first-time, full-time freshman at SDSU who also earned dual credits from SDSU. The one-year scholarship will be awarded based on the number of SDSU dual credits earned:
- 1-6 credit hours = $500;
- 7-12 credit hours = $1,000;
- 13 or more credit hours = $1,500.
Students will receive the Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship, provided at varying dollar amounts, based on the number of dual credits they have successfully completed (grade of C or above) from SDSU. See the chart above for details. Any dual credit course taken in which a student receives a D, F or withdraws, will not be counted towards their credit total for the Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship.
No need to apply.
Scholarship will automatically be applied to your financial aid.
Am I eligible for other scholarships?
Yes, the Jackrabbit Journey Scholarship does not replace the Jackrabbit Guarantee Scholarship or other awards. This would be in addition to other scholarships earned through academic achievement to attend SDSU.
