CalKIDS

CalKIDS is a landmark state program that helps California families jumpstart their college savings by providing eligible newborns and low-income students with a free college savings account and an initial financial deposit. This program, administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board, is a powerful tool to make higher education more accessible and affordable for a diverse range of students across the state. By automatically enrolling eligible children, CalKIDS takes the first step in ensuring that every child has a path to a college or career training.
