About CalKIDS Scholarship Account
CalKIDS maintains California-funded scholarship accounts for eligible public-school student groups. Students claim a balance through the portal rather than filing a new annual competition.
Cohort, Census Day, low-income identification, foster-care status, or homelessness determine eligibility and balance.
Get your SSID from school, use the official checker, and confirm your balance and qualified expenses before paying.
