The Need for CBI
Program Description
Our CBI Schools
Results






CollegeBound Initiative has demonstrated that a $1 investment can yield a $7 to $8 return in terms of scholarships and financial aid. Over four years this is a $28 to $32 return on a single dollar!
 

Making the Dream of a College Education a Reality

Our comprehensive approach creates a true culture of success in each of our partner high schools. And the results are clear – we have ten consecutive years of demonstrated success:

  95% annual college placement rate for graduating seniors at all CBI schools since 2001  
75% of alumni have either graduated, are still enrolled in college, or are attending graduate school

$48 million generated in grants and scholarships for students

$12,000 average financial aid package (excludes loans)
  83% of students were the first in their families to go to college  

But it is not just about getting every student into college; it is about changing the course of individual lives and in turn seeing positive change in our schools, our communities, and our society.

Our Reach

In the 2010-2011 school year, CBI is serving approximately 6,000 students, including over 650 seniors, in 13 urban schools (both co-ed and single sex) in New York City and Philadelphia.
