KIPP Forward
Post-Secondary Options
At KIPP Tulsa, we offer several meaningful post-secondary pathways that help students prepare for the future they choose.
Prepared for College and Career
At KIPP Tulsa, we believe every student deserves a future filled with opportunity. We work every day to make that a reality. Some of our scholars are the first in their family to pursue higher education. Others are eager to enter high-wage careers, serve their communities, or launch a business of their own. We know that post-secondary success comes in many forms, so we offer multiple options in partnership with Tulsa Community College (TCC) and Tulsa Tech.
