CalKIDS

The California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS) is a children’s development account program, administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board, an agency of the state of California. CalKIDS provides eligible participants with scholarship accounts, including seed deposits and other potential incentives, to help pay for future qualified higher education expenses. To learn more about CalKIDS or opt out of the program entirely, please see the Program Terms and Conditions at CalKIDS.org.

CalKIDS participants are added based on eligibility information described in California state law. Participant information is provided by the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Education. Participant information provided by the California Department of Education is based on eligibility defined by the Local Control Funding Formula.

*Optional* CalKIDS participants may also establish individual accounts with ScholarShare 529, California’s 529 College Savings Plan. Read and consider it carefully before investing.
