...

The Deloitte Foundation provides critical funding and skill-building opportunities for high school and college students, and students ages 16-24 pursuing other learning pathways. We work to help students have equitable access to education so their career aspirations can become reality.

Program resources and initiatives for students

Through collaborations with education programs, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations at the intersection of education and equity, the Deloitte Foundation helps prepare students for the future of work and meaningful careers in business, accounting, and STEM.

As one example, the Foundation supports a career exploration curriculum for a select national network of work-study high schools that guides students through discovering a wide variety of potential career paths involving data analytics and computer science and helps demonstrate the importance of these broad-ranging, transferable skills for the jobs of tomorrow.

The Virtual Mentoring Program leverages an online platform hosted by a college and career readiness nonprofit organization that connects Deloitte professionals with high school and college students with financial need to help them prepare for college, careers, and a world of opportunity.

The program, which is funded by the Deloitte Foundation, helps students prepare for and persist through high school and college and then transition to a career. Students who qualify for financial assistance can opt into free, one-to-one virtual mentoring to help them navigate the college application process and provides broad guidance on their college and career paths. To date, Deloitte professionals and retired Deloitte Partners/Principals/Managing Directors have mentored more than 13,000 students.

The Deloitte Foundation supports racially and ethnically diverse high school students matriculating to four-year colleges and universities to pursue degrees in business, accounting, or STEM.

For example, the Foundation provided grants totaling more than $5 million to fund college scholarships for graduating seniors at select high schools to help students stay on track with their business, accounting, and STEM career journeys.

To help diversify the workforce of the future, the Foundation collaborates with two-year and four-year colleges to develop scholarship programs to assist students working toward degrees in accounting, business, and STEM. Grants have included support to establish a fund for students from diverse backgrounds pursuing associate degrees as well as scholarships for racially and ethnically diverse community college students transferring to four-year institutions to pursue bachelor’s degrees in business, accounting, and STEM.

The Deloitte Foundation provides support to help prepare two-year college students as they transition to four-year accounting programs. For example, the Foundation hosts a symposium designed to help these students during this critical period and promote awareness of education and career pathways in accounting.

The DFASP works in parallel with Deloitte’s Making Accounting Diverse and Equitable (MADE) commitment. The Deloitte Foundation expects to fund $25 million in scholarships for students over the next several years, including students interested in pursuing a fifth-year master’s degree in accounting, master’s of tax or master’s of accounting with a concentration in audit, advisory, or tax, through the Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars Program.
