ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT TODAY!
1/6/26 Dear Kindergarten to 4th Grade Parent/Guardian:
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Great news! Unless you opted out in November, your child has been automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program, a college and career scholarship and savings program. This opportunity is made possible through a partnership between NYC Kids RISE, New York City Public Schools (NYCPS), the City of New York, and each participating school.
The next step is to activate your child's NYC Scholarship Account to see the funds already saved for their future college and career dreams – no personal information is required! Their account starts with $100, and they will also receive a $25 reward for activating it.
Activate your child’s account by following the steps below or by watching this short video guide:
Go to nyckr.org/act-now
Enter your child’s ZIP code, birthdate, and Student ID or OSIS number, then click Submit
Enter your name, email, and create a password
Read and accept the Terms of Use, then click Create User Profile
That’s it! Within a week, you will see the $25 reward from NYC Kids RISE. You can log in anytime to check funds and earnings. Need help? Call or email the parent coordinator listed here
After activating, you can also open your own college and career savings account to save alongside the NYC Scholarship Account. For support, contact NYC Kids RISE at 833-543-7473 or info@nyckidsrise.org.
We’re saving for your child’s college and career training, together!
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’s a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible and achievable for all NYC public school students, starting in kindergarten—regardless of their family’s income or immigration status.
By providing upfront scholarships for every eligible student, tools and information for families to develop their own college and career savings plans, and a way for entire communities to invest in their children, the Save for College Program enables all of us to work together to build assets and support expectations of educational and economic success for every child.
Good news! If eligible, your child will be automatically enrolled in the Save for College Program unless you choose not to participate. You do not have to do anything to enroll and receive a free NYC Scholarship Account.
