    WHY

    CalKids provides children in California a jump start on saving for college or career training. 

    The program, administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board, automatically provides newborns and eligible low-income public school children in California an initial seed deposit, plus other possible financial incentives so that they can start saving money for college.

    All babies born in California on or after July 1, 2022, will receive up to $100 in a college savings account. Additionally, eligible low-income public school students may qualify to receive up to $1,500 in college savings for their future.

    CalKIDS accounts can also be linked with new or existing ScholarShare 529 accounts, where friends and family can deposit funds to a child’s account.
