Good news: $103.92 has been added to your child’s NYC Scholarship Account through the Baby Bonds Community Scholarship! This money is in addition to the initial $100 that NYC Kids RISE invested in your child’s account, and any rewards you may have received so far.

The Baby Bonds Community Scholarship was announced at the end of 2021 and allocated funds to the NYC Scholarship Accounts of every Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School kindergartener enrolled in the Save for College Program during the 2021-2022 school year.

Community Scholarships are a key way for families, schools, and communities to save together for students’ educational futures.
