NYC Kids RISE
Save for College Program
A new scholarship + savings program in District 30,
designed to make college more accessible and achievable
for all NYC public school students
The basics
College is the most direct pathway to success. This is why the non-profit NYC Kids RISE, in collaboration with the City of New York and the NYC Department of Education, has started the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program, a scholarship and savings program designed to make college more accessible and achievable for the children in your community. The Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for their children’s futures, and that includes all the members of the District 30 community.
All School District 30 kindergartners can participate in the Save for College Program regardless of income level or immigration status. Each eligible child automatically receives a NYC Scholarship Account with an initial contribution of $100 unless their family chooses not to participate.
How the program works
The entire community can get involved in the Save for College Program. Working with NYC Kids RISE, communities can contribute to and fundraise for the scholarship accounts of children in District 30. Community organizations can also use this platform and integrate it into their college savings and attendance discussions
Look out for more information on this page about how the District 30 community can come together to support the college savings of our kindergartners and families.
