This webinar provides information about the CalKIDS Scholarship program, the nation’s largest child development and savings account program. The program provides an initial deposit into a 529 educational account for all California children born on or after July 1, 2022, and additional funds for eligible California public school children based on LCFF data, such as low-income, English language learners, foster, and homeless youth. The webinar concludes by presenting information about how community organizations can partner with us to help spread the word to the children and families they serve.
