Committed to Support
KIPP Philadelphia is committed to supporting its students and alumni to and through college. Students earn alumni status once they have completed 8th grade at a KIPP middle school or graduated from a KIPP high school. The KIPP Forward team provides essential resources to all KIPP students and alumni as they make the transition from middle school to high school, as they prepare for and enter college and while they pursue their college degrees.

College Partnerships
At the national level, KIPP works to help students persist through college and earn an on-time degree through forming college partnerships with the institutions that share our belief that a student’s zip code and family income should not dictate whether he or she attains a degree.
To fulfill our commitment to students beyond high school, the KIPP Forward team works alongside colleges and universities to support KIPP Philadelphia alumni. College partners not only commit to admitting KIPP students, but also providing critical resources to ensure that students remain on track for a college degree. KIPP partners with more than 95 college and universities across the country to learn alongside each other how to best support first-generation college students and create a scalable model for college access and completion.
