NYC Kids RISE

What we do

• 1

  Provide NYC Scholarship Accounts for every eligible student, money that can only be used by families for educational purposes;

• 2

  Empower families with the tools and information to develop their own college savings plans;

• 3

  Empower communities to work together to invest in their children’s college savings by contributing to their scholarship accounts, building an even broader foundation for each child’s future over time;

• 4

  Reinforce the expectation of attending college through events and campaigns in schools and across neighborhoods; and

• 5

  Provide financial education in kindergarten by working with the NYC Department of Education to make sure every student receives financial training in the classroom.
