CalKIDS | Saving for College and Career Training
Matthew Baker

Many parents know that saving for a child's future education is important, but the finding money to set aside is a challenge that many of us face. This is why the State of CA launched the California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS), giving children in California a jump start on saving for college or career training.

Through this program, California newborns can receive up to $175 to begin college savings for the future, and current CA students could receive up to $1,500 to help with college or costs associated with career training.

Check out the CalKIDS Website to learn more about the program and check for eligibility.

(When it asks for your student's SSID, you can use THESE INSTRUCTIONS to find that information in the Parent Portal.)
