Statewide CalKIDS program provides eligible children $500+ in college funds

Many California public school students may be eligible to receive $500 to $1,500 for use towards their future education expenses. The California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS), funded by the State of California, provides eligible low-income students with funds to promote a college-going culture.

Checking eligibility and claiming the funding is easy. All you need is your child’s 10-digit Statewide Student Identifier (SSID), which families can find by logging into San Juan Unified’s Parent Portal at www.sanjuan.edu/parentportal and looking under Student Identifiers in the menu.
