About the Kaplan Educational Foundation

The Kaplan Educational Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity initially established with the support of a generous endowment funded by Kaplan, Inc. executives. In 2006, the Kaplan Educational Foundation launched the Kaplan Leadership Program (KLP). It is a highly comprehensive program designed to provide financial aid, academic support, leadership skills development, and cultural enrichment. The program’s unique and trailblazing model is filling a gap among an often overlooked population of students: low-income, high-potential, underrepresented community college students. KLP Scholars are attending highly competitive four-year schools while program alumni have graduated with honors, landed notable positions in their fields of interest, and earned degrees from highly selective graduate schools.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Kaplan Educational Foundation, a 501(c)3 public charity.
