NFTE Announces a $300,000 commitment from Ernst & Young

In addition to funding college scholarships for students, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Alumni-Youth Entrepreneurship Fund will support NFTE’s Adopt-a-Class initiative, in which Ernst & Young LLP personnel volunteer as coaches and mentors to students.

“At Ernst & Young we know our future depends on entrepreneurs, as they are the key to innovation, economic growth, and job creation,” said Herb Engert, Ernst & Young’s Americas Leader of Strategic Growth Markets. “To that end, we are committed to helping these young people achieve their potential through education around entrepreneurship so that we can one day celebrate their story.”
