KIPP Forward

Through KIPP Forward, we're supporting students to choose and prepare for the educational and career path that fits their goals and sense of purpose. Once on their way, KIPP Forward teams help alumni keep moving forward while pursuing their dreams.

The KIPP Forward Approach

KIPPsters set a high bar for their futures. For some, that means being the first in their family to graduate from college or buy a home. For others, it means serving our country or creating a business. So KIPP schools ensure each student has the skills and confidence to pursue any path that leads to their highest aspirations. Our counselors support students to choose and prepare for a right-fit college or education path and a meaningful career.

Higher Education Report

We're committed to preparing students for economically self-sufficient, choice-filled lives. Leading up to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, KIPP published a report calling on education leaders, policy makers, higher education institutions, and advocates to commit to drastic changes in the ways we support students in college.

KIPP College Partners

KIPP partners with colleges and universities across the country to learn alongside each other how best to support first-generation college students. Together with more than 95 college partners, we aim to create a scalable model for college access and completion that other institutions can replicate.
