The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to invest in and save for their children’s futures. It is a scholarship and savings program designed to make college and career training more accessible and achievable for public school students. It enables all of us to work together to build assets and support expectations of educational and economic success for every child.

If you are interested in re-enrolling in the Save for College Program, you can take the steps below: Parents/guardians can change their child’s participation status within the NYC Schools Account. This is the preferred way for parents to opt out, re-enroll or cancel.
After logging into NYCSA, the parent/guardian should look at the main screen with all of the tiles. The parent/guardian can click on the “Postsecondary Planning'' tile, then click on the button on the next page that says “NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program.” After this they can review program information and will have relevant options available towards the bottom of the page.
