The American Copy Editors Society Scholarships

Five ACES scholarships are awarded to students who excel in critical thinking about written materials in any field and aspire to a career involving editing. Four of these winners each receive $1,500, and the student chosen as the Aubespin Scholar receives $2,500.


The Bill Walsh Scholarship — in honor of the late editor, author, and ACES guiding spirit — goes to a student who demonstrates excellence in the editing of news. The winner receives $3,500.

All six winners are also eligible for aid to attend the ACES annual in-person national conference.
