The California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS) was launched in 2022 by the State of California with a clear mission: make it easier for more children to save for their future education.

Administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board, CalKIDS takes the initiative by automatically offering newborns and eligible low-income public school children in California an initial seed deposit, along with other potential financial incentives. This ensures that they can start their college and career savings journey right from the beginning.

We have been notified that many students in our school may be eligible for these funds which can used upon enrollment at an institution of higher education. They can use CalKIDS funds to pay for tuition, fees, books, supplies and certain room and board costs. California public school students designated as low income were automatically enrolled in the program.

To access their Cal KIDS accounts, eligible students or their parents/guardians should visit www.calkids.org > Get Started > Confirm using the 2024 Eligibility Tool. Accessing an account is easy and only requires a few pieces of information, including the child’s Statewide Student Identifier (SSID), which you can find in Synergy. The tab Student Info is where you can find your student’s SSID. If you have any questions, please contact Monica Taylor, mtaylor@powayusd.com.

Students who need help with their classes can sign up for tutoring with NHS student volunteers on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:45 - 4:30pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch in the Titan Center (Room K-16). Walk ins are welcome but based on availability. Sign up here for a spot! Email powayhighNHS@gmail.com with questions.
