Building Block 1: Activate and View NYC Scholarship Account

Every student enrolled in the Save for College Program automatically receives an NYC Scholarship Account with an initial $100 from NYC Kids RISE, unless their family chooses not to participate by “opting-out.” You can earn more funds for your child’s NYC Scholarship Account by taking additional steps. The first step is activating and viewing the account (Building Block 1). Activate and view your child’s NYC Scholarship Account now to earn a $25 reward:
