KIPP collaborates with 60, and counting,
colleges to support KIPPsters with college
access, affordability, and academics. A
number of partner colleges have also
committed to meet the full financial need of
our KIPPsters. A college partnership is an
agreement between KIPP and a college to
develop programs, projects, and activities
that address challenges in college
persistence for students from low income
families who are also, often, first generation
college students.
Why form college partnerships?
College partnerships are key to increasing our
students’ college completion rates. KIPP
partners with schools that more likely to help
our students graduate and promotes these
colleges because of their proven record to
graduate their students. This is turn, increases
our KIPPsters’ college completion rates.
Do all partnerships guarantee full financial
aid?
No. While some of the partners have committed
to meet the full financial aid package, others are
unable to provide that level of funding and
instead provide KIPP-specific scholarships.
Are KIPPsters automatically accepted to
these KIPP College Partners?
No. KIPPsters must meet all regular entry
requirements for each college. Though there are
certain added benefits for being KIPPsters once
they are accepted
Do we expect all our students to attend KIPP
Partner Colleges?
No. Although the number of partner schools
across the country will certainly grow, the KIPP
through College team has tools and resources
to match students to the right school.
What distinctions are there among the
partnerships?
Partnerships are national or regional. National
partnerships are formed with schools that
attract KIPPsters from across the country
whereas regional partnerships serve KIPPsters
from one or two nearby regions.
What plans are there for expanding the list
of KIPP College Partners?
In the past year, KIPP Foundation worked with
Houston, NYC, DC and the Bay Area to form
national and regional partnerships and those
regions will establish additional regional
partnerships. KIPP Foundation is working with
another five regions to form 3-5 additional
regional partnerships in each region. After the
first year, each region will increase the number
of regional partnerships by one or two each
year, with a wide range and variety of national
and regional colleges.
What is involved in a College
Partnership?
An enrollment target
A point of contact at the college
Support in college access,
admissions, affordability, and
student support
Acceptance to these schools comes with 100% of the financial need covered.
