NYC Kids Rise Program
NYC Kids Rise Program
The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for their children’s futures. It is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible for public school students by building financial assets and expectations of success, starting in kindergarten.
This year, every kindergarten and first grade student enrolled in an NYC public school (including participating charter schools) is eligible* to participate, regardless of family income or immigration status.
Attend a virtual Information Session to learn about the Program, the benefits for your child, and how your family can participate!
NYC Kids RISE is a nonprofit organization working with the City of New York and the Department of Education to manage the Save for College Program. *Because the Program was piloted in geographic School District 30 starting in 2017, every kindergarten through fifth-grade student in the 39 pilot schools is eligible to participate.
