KIPP Through College

The KIPP Through College (KTC) program provides students and their families with the essential knowledge and preparation they will need for success climbing the mountain to and through college. We provide comprehensive support for our KIPPsters beginning in middle school and as they navigate high school, prepare for college entry, and throughout their college career, graduation (and beyond!).
