APPLY

Now is the time.
It’s never too early to begin thinking about your future. If college is where you are headed, CPE is here to help! Apply to CPE and join the hundreds who’ve gone before you in making your dreams of college a reality.

A Formula for Success
Capital Partners for Education (CPE) is a dynamic college preparatory program dedicated to helping motivated, low-income students overcome the academic and social barriers that would otherwise prevent them from attending the college of their choice.

CPE is the only youth organization in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that provides students with a combination of one-on-one mentoring, academic support, enrichment opportunities, and scholarships for all four years of high school.

Overall, 99% of our graduates have gone on to college upon completion of the CPE program. In the last six years, 100% of our graduates have enrolled in college, an opportunity that has put them on the path toward prosperity.

Become a CPE Scholar
CPE scholars are highly motivated, young people who know that college is in their future but aren’t quite sure how to get there yet. CPE scholars come from all over the DC metropolitan area with a range of backgrounds. Students have attended public, charter, and private schools before enrolling in CPE and one of our partner high schools. Many of our students are the first in their families to attend college.
