Match & Persist Fund
The Match and Persist Fund supports students financially in the match and persist process. KIPP Forward Match supports current high school seniors in the decision-making phase. Match funds will be used to close the financial gap, oftentimes covering a small gap in tuition, for a student to attend their higher match college option for four years. The Persistence Fund is intended for current students in their post-secondary pathway who have financial aid gaps that could affect year-to-year persistence. These one-time, emergency funds are eligible to cover room and board, books, supplies, travel, etc.
If you are interested in donating to the Match and Persist fund please email jfetbroth@kippma.org
