What is the Save for College Program?
NYC Scholarship Accounts with money for college and career training!
Every kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade student enrolled in NYC public schools, including participating charter schools, can participate in the NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program!* Family income and immigration status do not affect eligibility. Eligible students are automatically enrolled unless their parents or guardians choose not to participate.
Students receive a free NYC Scholarship Account with an initial $100.
Activate your child’s NYC Scholarship Account to receive your first additional $25 reward!
Money in this account can be used to pay for a variety of college and career training expenses such as tuition, fees, and textbooks. For your child’s NYC Scholarship Account:
- You do not need to deposit money
- You do not need to provide a Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), bank account, or credit card information
