NYC Kids Rise: Save for College Program

The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for and invest in their children’s futures. It is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible for public school students.

Who can participate?

All families with kindergarten students enrolled in a NYC public school (including participating charter schools), no matter their income or immigration status.

How do you participate?

Good news! Your child will be automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program unless you choose not to participate by “opting-out.” You do not have to do anything to receive a free NYC Scholarship Account.

How does it work?

The Program allows families, schools, and communities to build a foundation together for their children’s future by:

• Providing an NYC Scholarship Account for every participating student
All families receive an NYC Scholarship Account with a $100 initial deposit. There are also opportunities to collect up to
$200 in early rewards.

• Supporting families with the tools and information to develop their own savings plan
After activating their NYC Scholarship Account, families can open and connect their own college savings account
through the online platform. Then, families can start saving money in the ways and amounts that make sense for their
finances.

• Encouraging communities to work together to invest in their children’s NYC Scholarship Accounts
Businesses, organizations, institutions, and others can contribute to NYC Scholarship Accounts. These contributions
further increase the money in each child’s account and demonstrate their community’s support for every child’s success.

• Reinforcing expectations of attending college and career training
Milestone events, activities, and campaigns in schools and across neighborhoods help students imagine what’s possible
for their futures.

• Teaching financial education in the classroom
Students receive age-appropriate financial education starting in Kindergarten.

誰有資格參與

就讀於紐約市公立學校(包括參加計劃的特許學校)的每一名幼稚園學生家庭,而不論其收入或移民身份如何。

您如何參加

好消息!除非您透過「退出」選擇不參與計劃,否則您的孩子將自動參與該大學儲蓄計劃。您什麼都不用做就可以獲得免
費的紐約市獎學金帳戶(NYC Scholarship Account)。

它是如何運作的

計劃使家庭、學校和社區能夠透過下列途徑,一同為孩子的未來打下基礎:

• 為每一名參加計劃的學生提供一個紐約市獎學金帳戶
所有的家庭都會獲得一個初始金額為100美元的紐約市獎學金帳戶。另外還有機會獲得最高200美元的早期獎勵。

• 透過工具和資訊為家庭制訂他們自己的大學儲蓄計劃提供支持
啟動紐約市獎學金帳戶後,家庭還可以透過線上平台開立並關聯自己的大學儲蓄帳戶(college savings account)。
然後,家庭就可以開始以不影響財務狀況的方式和金額進行儲蓄。

• 鼓勵社區共同合作,為孩子們的紐約市獎學金帳戶投資
企業、組織、機構和其他人可以向紐約市獎學金帳戶存入資金。這些資金可以進一步增加每個孩子帳戶裡的存款,
顯示社區對助力每一名學生取得成功的支持。

• 增強孩子上大學和參加職業訓練的期望
學校和鄰里區的重要事件和活動能夠幫助學生展望未來的無限可能。

• 在課堂上教授財務教育課程
學生從幼稚園起就接受符合年齡的財務教育。

cantidades que sean convenientes para sus finanzas.
