Building Block 3: Make Your First Deposit

Once you have opened a college and career savings account for the benefit of your child and connected it to your child’s NYC Scholarship Account, it is time to take the next step. Deposit at least $5 into your connected college and career savings account and NYC Kids RISE will put another $25 reward toward your child’s NYC Scholarship Account!
Saving Makes a Difference. Starting to save when your child is young can make a big difference by the time they are ready for college. The amount of money that a family can save for this is different for everyone, and no amount is too large or too small when you start saving early!
