- You can activate and view your child’s NYC Scholarship Account in January 2025!

Who can participate?

As of school year 2024-2025, students in kindergarten through third grade at NYC public schools (including participating charter schools) are eligible to participate in the Program, no matter what their family income or immigration status is.
Because the Program was piloted in geographic School District 30 starting in 2017, every kindergarten through fifth-grade student in the 39 pilot schools is eligible to participate.
