KIPP Through College is Now KIPP Forward
KIPP Through College was created to ensure that all KIPP alumni have the tools, support, and confidence needed to pursue the paths they choose – college, career, and beyond. For over a decade, it has been our joy to watch KIPP alumni grow and thrive as they obtained degrees, opened businesses, earned trade certifications, and most importantly, lead fulfilling lives.
Our goal with this new branding, is to ensure that our name represents all of the paths toward success that alumni take to create the future they want for themselves and their community.
​
We are proud of this more inclusive approach to defining alumni success; and while we are undertaking new branding what is not changing is the unwavering support of our team to you. KIPP Forward will continue to support our students, families and alumni in preparing, identifying, and achieving success within the educational and career path that fits their goals.

We Are Here To Help you Through High School
KIPP Forward will work with alumni, families and school counselors to support students through high school so they can graduate college ready. However, we know that many students take a non-traditional path to college or elect not to attend college at all. Every journey is different. KIPP Forward is the starting point and roadmap for them all! We know every KIPPster won't go to college. Our goal is for every KIPPster to have the choice. Do you need help becoming college ready? Are you wondering what to do after high school or how to plan, pay for and apply to college? These buttons are for you.
