Dear Parents and Families in the Save for College Community,

Good news! The deadline to earn the full scholarship rewards for your child’s educational future has been extended to the last day of school 2021! 

As a student in School District 30, your child was automatically enrolled in the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program and has an NYC Scholarship Account with money for their college and career training future.

Act today — take the first step of three steps and activate your child’s NYC Scholarship Account to earn $25 toward your child’s educational future.

Here’s How to Activate Your Child’s NYC Scholarship Account (Building Block #1)

Activate your child’s existing NYC Scholarship Account on your phone, tablet or computer in about 15 minutes or less. You will just need the information listed below — for your reference — and to create a password. Once logged in to the account you will see an initial deposit of $100 from NYC Kids RISE. You will also receive the full $25 reward deposited to the account several days after you complete the activation.

Remember that you will never have to deposit money to access this NYC Scholarship Account, and you do not have to provide your Social Security Number, ITIN Number, bank account or credit card information.You will not be required to provide economic or immigration status
