Resources for School Partners
NYC Kids RISE manages the Save for College Program in partnership with the City of New York, the NYC Department of Education and each participating school. Schools play a key role in implementing the Save for College Program by integrating it into their college and career readiness efforts, educating families about the Program, and supporting them to complete the foundational steps. This page provides information, tools and resources to help your school implement the Program:

Schools Calendar
The school year is divided into four key milestones that support eligible families to learn about the program, make an informed choice about whether to opt out and then take action once their children’s NYC Scholarship Accounts are available to activate and view. Use the Schools Calendar activities to build excitement about the Save for College Program in your school. As the number of grades participating at your schools grows, you can make these milestones whole school events!
