CalKIDS Accounts

In 2022, California launched the nation’s largest children’s development account program for
higher education – The California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS).

The program's mission: support pathways toward higher education by awarding scholarships
and offering savings to youth across California. The program is designed to create opportunities for families to prepare for and complete college, trade school, and career programs.

Administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board and Chaired by State Treasurer Fiona Ma,
CalKIDS takes the initiative by automatically awarding scholarships worth up to $1,500 to
eligible California public school students and up to $175 for all children born in the state on or
after July 1, 2022.

Visit the CalKIDS website to see how easy it is to access and claim your student’s account, based on eligibility.
