Scholarships & College Partners

KIPP DC believes closer partnerships with higher education institutions are key opportunities for continued progress and learning. Our ultimate goal is to identify strategies that can be implemented by educational institutions to help close the opportunity gap for all first-generation college goers and students of color.
