Parents/guardians have the opportunity to opt out of receiving an NYC Scholarship Account. Kindergarten and any new first or second grade students who enrolled in a participating school between November 1, 2023, and March 22nd, 2024, will be automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program unless their parents/guardians choose to “opt out” during their specific 30-day period. Any eligible students who enrolled in a participating school between November 1st, 2023, and March 22nd, 2024, whose parents/guardians did not opt out will receive their NYC Scholarship Accounts in the fall of 2024.

The rolling opt-out period for the 2023-24 School Year has ended. Any kindergarten, first or second grade student who is admitted to your school after March 22, 2024 will have the opportunity to participate or opt out this fall. For Schools in Geographic District 30, this includes any newly eligible 3rd-5th graders as well.

After a student’s Opt-out Period ends, parents and guardians can choose to cancel their student’s participation in the Save for College Program at any time. Also, if a parent or guardians initially opted out, or at some point canceled their student’s participation in the Program, they can request to enroll (or re-enroll) an eligible student in the Program at any time before the end of their fifth-grade year.

Parents and guardians can update their child’s participation status (Cancel or Enroll/Re-enroll) by filling out a Participation Status Change Form and turning it into their school for data entry and storage in the student’s cumulative folder. The Participation Status Change Form can be found below in the 10 NYC Public Schools languages.
