In addition to the application of ACE credit recommendations for military or corporate training to a postsecondary degree program, award winners must demonstrate: 

• Continued success in academic, professional, personal, and community endeavors
  
• Extraordinary achievement in their community or workplace while successfully balancing the demands of family, career, and education
