Don’t Leave Money on the Table | Free College Savings

Posted Date: 04/01/26 (04:00 PM)


Did you know your child may already qualify for up to $1,500 in free college savings through California’s CalKIDS program? 

MPUSD wants to make sure every family knows about this incredible opportunity to jumpstart their student’s future. Learn how this state-funded program helps low-income, foster, and homeless youth begin saving now for college or career training. No application required.

The sooner you take advantage of this free money, the faster it grows by the time they graduate 12th grade. Examples:

  • $500 automatic deposit for eligible low-income public school students enrolled in first through 12th grade
  • $500 additional deposit for eligible students identified as foster youth
  • $500 additional deposit for eligible students experiencing homelessness
Full details on our website or visit CalKids directly. You will need your student's statewide Student Identifier (SSID) and you can visit our website to learn how to obtain that.
