Mission
UC Irvine’s Center for Educational Partnerships (CFEP) fosters collaborations that reduce disparities and empower students from our most under-resourced schools to prepare for and succeed in higher education and their future careers. We partner with K-12 schools, community colleges, corporate entities, and community organizations on initiatives aimed at boosting student academic achievement, college enrollment, and career readiness. CFEP provides access to the university’s expertise and resources, leveraging research-based strategies to drive and document meaningful change among students and faculty enhances the educational experience the university provides and the scholarships it produces.
