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.

Through KIPP Forward, we’re supporting students to discover what a fulfilling life means to them, then break through any barrier that dares stand in their way of achieving it. KIPP supports students to choose and prepare for the educational and career paths that fit their goals and sense of purpose. Once on their way, KIPP Forward teams help alumni keep moving forward, tackling academic, social, and financial challenges they might encounter while pursuing their dreams. And through the KIPP Alumni Network, our KIPP family is creating powerful connections, and ascending together with networking, mentorship, leadership training, and more.

Across the country, KIPPsters are making their mark. They are earning degrees, building businesses, reforming policy, serving their communities, and rising through the ranks of companies and organizations throughout the nation. Together, they’re creating a future without limits. For themselves. For all those who will follow them. And for us all.

Support For KIPP Graduates

Support for KIPP students doesn’t end once they graduate from a KIPP high school - it extends through college graduation. Many students face financial, academic, and social barriers on their path to obtaining a college degree. KIPP persistence advisors help them overcome these barriers.

Career Readiness

While each KIPP student receives a college prep education, we know some students will pursue a non-college career path. We help students expand their knowledge of career options--and understand the steps needed to pursue the career of their choice. KIPP students receive career guidance, exposure to different professions, and access to internships and career opportunities.
