Have you viewed your child’s NYC Scholarship Account recently? In August 2021, every student residing in Queensbridge Houses and enrolled in the Save for College Program was allocated an additional $25 in their NYC Scholarship Account, thanks to the Nina Adams 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.

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