WashU Offers Up to a Free Ride to KIPP Alumni Who Meet Academic Standards

These scholars stand to be the first in their families to pursue a post-secondary degree.  When invited to meet with actual college students they had a lot of questions.  “What did you have to do to get into college?” “Do you like college?” “I like broccoli.” They are quickly pardoned for getting off track. They’re only 5, after all.  Still, college is really not that far away for the kindergartners of Wisdom and Victory academies, two elementary schools that are part of the KIPP charter school network. An initiative with Washington University is closing that gap even more.
