DescKIPP Houston's mission is to develop in underserved students the academic skills, intellectual habits, and qualities of character necessary to succeed at all levels of school and life from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, college, and the competitive world beyond. KIPP began in 1994 with a powerful idea: to create a classroom that helped children develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits necessary to succeed in college and build a better tomorrow for their communities. Founders Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin began by redefining what was possible for a classroom of public school students in Houston. Essential to creating a great system of schools is having our eyes on the same goal: college graduation. At KIPP Houston, teachers, leaders, students, and parents are all united around this goal. By providing outstanding educators, more time in school learning, and a strong culture of achievement, KIPP Houston is helping students build the skills needed to make it not only to, but through, college. During the 2015-16 school year, approximately 12,500 students were enrolled in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. KIPP Houston operated 9 primary schools, 11 middle schools and 4 high schools. The students that KIPP Houston serves are predominantly minorities with 65% identified as Hispanic, 32% as African-American, 1% as Caucasian, and 2% as Asian. The school day begins at 7:25 a.m. and ends at 4:15. On Fridays, the school day begins at 7:25 a.m. and ends at 3:00. All KIPP students, parents, and teachers sign a Commitment to Excellence pledge in which they commit to do whatever it takes for themselves and their teammates to learn and prepare for college. From day one in our schools, college is the focus; college banners line the school hallways and classes are identified by the year those KIPP students are projected to go to college.KIPP Houston's ultimate goal is to raise the college graduation rate for KIPPsters to 82%. We are committed to doing whatever it takes to address the achievement gap between our nation's low and high income students. Although 91% of KIPPsters come from economically disadvantaged families, 94% of KIPP Houston students graduate from high school; and 85% have matriculated to a higher education institution. Tracking from the eighth grade, 51% of alumni have graduated from college and another 13% are still persisting. This college graduation rate is more than five times the graduation rate of comparable low-income students across the United States.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceGrantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationScholarship applications are distributed to all students in May. The Big Dog Committee meets once a year in June to award scholarships. We also meet during that time to review all current students receiving Big Dog funding. The committee reviews their application materials, grades and financial aid award letter. This allows us to gain more context on the student's financial need, academic commitment and personal character. Once decisions are made all recipients are asked to come to campus to sign their contracts and tell us how they are going to "give back" or "pay back" the loan portion of the award. A percentage of the award is loan, so we ask the students to "pay back" this portion by volunteering at KIPP schools. KIPP Through College (KTC) will make check requests for all students once they arrive on their college campuses in the fall. The Big Dog award is split into two disbursements: fall semester and spring semesters. KTC waits for the student's fall semester grades to be mailed to us in January by the student before requesting the second half of the award for the spring semester. A student can renew their award if they are in good academic standing and giving back to KIPP. KTC works with the students to ensure that we have their spring semester grades.ExplanationTxt
