CFES

If you are a student interested in joining CFES, please ask your principal, guidance counselor or teacher if your school is a participating CFES school. If so, you can join the school's CFES club and get involved in our programs.

College MAP

In order to help high school students get to college, Ernst & Young LLP has joined with CFES to deliver a program called College MAP (Mentoring for Access and Persistence) in high schools across the nation. Starting in the junior year of high school, Ernst & Young volunteers will mentor groups of students in the process of applying to, affording, and succeeding in college.

To learn more about College MAP, see more here...

Those selected to participate in the College MAP program are expected to:

Make a two-year commitment (grades 11 and 12) to participate in College MAP
Meet with Ernst & Young mentors throughout the school year
Follow a "college access" curriculum that supports College MAP Scholars and mentors through the process of applying to and affording college

College MAP is currently offered at the following high schools.

Atlanta, Ga.: Booker T. Washington High School
Birmingham, Ala.: Restoration Academy
Boston, Mass.: Madison Park Technical High School
Chicago, Ill: Perspectives Leadership Academy
Dallas, Texas: Kimball High School
Denver, Colo.: Martin Luther King Early College High School
Detroit, Mich.: Cody Preparatory Upper School of Teaching and Learning
New York, N.Y.: Adlai Stevenson High School
Palo Alto/San Jose, Calif.: Gunn High School
Philadelphia, Pa.: Frankford High School
Pittsburgh, Pa.: North Side Urban Pathways

If you attend one of these schools and would like to become part of College MAP, please ask your guidance counselor for an application.
