Tomorrow at 6pm: Supporting Your Child's Future through the Save for College Program, plus Summer Resources
Dear Parents and Families in the Save for College Community,
As we conclude the third year of the Save for College Program, we wanted to take a moment to recognize some of the important accomplishments of our community, and offer a trip down memory lane.
Wins
– Supporting your child’s success – you are among the +10,000 families that today counts with savings for your child’s college and career training future. As part of the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program in School District 30, you together with 39 schools, countless neighbors, more than 40 organizations, and many around New York City came together during these past three years to show our children that we are supporting their success.
– Increasing your child’s savings – as result of our work together, more than $3.6M has been deposited into the +10,000 students’ NYC Scholarship Accounts. And there is still opportunity to continue building their savings.
What’s Next?
– Tomorrow (Thursday) at 6PM – Don’t miss our Town Hall: Supporting Your Child’s Future through the Save for College Program. You will learn more about the three foundational steps (Building Blocks) and how Community Scholarships can support increasing your child’s funds for their educational future.
– Summer Resources – If you missed our last Town Hall on “Resources and Tips to Keep K-3 Children Learning and Active” this summer, check it out below. What topics and resources would you like NYC Kids RISE to feature during our Town Halls and across our platforms? Tell us here.
