Public Charity Established in 2006 through the support of a generous endowment funded by Kaplan, Inc executives, its mission is to eliminate barriers to education for an underserved, deserving population of Black and Latino students of exceptional academic merit from New York City’s community colleges and develop them as world leaders and advocates for their communities In 2006 the Kaplan Educational Foundation launched the Kaplan Leadership Program (KLP), a highly comprehensive program that provides: Financial aid • Academic support • Transfer admissions advisement • Cultural enrichment • This trailblazing model provides the bridge for community college students to top-tier 4-year colleges and universities and prepares them to excel academically Kaplan Leadership Program alumni have graduated with honors, landed notable positions in their fields and earned degrees from highly selective graduate schools Kaplan Scholars are changing the world Taking Steps Together The Kaplan Educational Foundation’s support begins early in a student’s studies and continues through the completion of a bachelor’s degree Financial assistance includes scholarships and additional funding to assist with other educational and living expenses We also provide Kaplan Scholars with: Laptops, books, school supplies • Transportation funding and monthly living stipend • College trips • Emergency funding • Academic advising and transfer admissions guidance and support • Supplemental instruction in Math and English • Test preparation for undergraduate and graduate admissions • Funding

extracurricular activities, which prepares them for future leadership roles The Kaplan Leadership Program proves that low-income, first generation community college students of color can successfully transfer and excel at selective colleges and universities Top-tier colleges and universities actively pursue and recruit KLP scholars for transfer Our comprehensive, high-touch approach is central to scholar successes, particularly in preparation for transfer 100% of our alumni are employed full-time at jobs in their fields of study or are attending graduate school Expanding Our Reach: Transfer Initiative Program In September 2017, we launched the Transfer Initiative Program (TIP) for community college students of color who were not admitted to the KLP but have a leadership profile and a clear desire to transfer to selective colleges and universities We provide TIP students with transfer admissions advisement and individualized writing coaching, as well as financial support which covers transcript fees, financial aid application fees and testing fees Alumni have distinguished careers in education, nonprofit, scientific research and Fortune 500 companies including Colgate
