Partnerships & Resources
Supporting Alumni Through College, Career, and Beyond
KIPP is deeply committed to supporting students in their postsecondary decisions, including choosing to continue their education and earn a postsecondary degree. We believe partnerships between secondary and higher education will help improve college completion rates for first-generation students. We are proud to partner with a growing number of institutions across the country that share our belief that a student’s zip code shouldn’t dictate whether he or she will go to or complete college.
