College For Every Student

Welcome

The need for College For Every Student (CFES) is greater today than ever.

As a nation, we face the challenge of educating our young people to become the skilled workers and leaders of tomorrow. For America to remain a land of opportunity and prosperity - and retain its role as a global economic leader - we must provide opportunities for all of our young people to realize their fullest potential. To do so, we must dramatically increase the college-going and graduation rates of low-income youth, who constitute the fastest-growing population in our public schools. View the video below to see what CFES is doing to meet this challenge.




Since its founding in 1991, CFES has helped thousands of underserved students in 540 K-12 public schools nationwide take steps toward college. Through its mentoring, school-college partnerships, and student leadership programs, CFES has helped raise academic performance and educational aspirations and ultimately ensure that these students graduate from high school and succeed in college. Over the last three years, 96 percent of CFES high school seniors - 2,500 young people, many of whom were previously destined to drop out of high school - have gone on to college.
