Every Baby Born in Sonoma County Has Up to $175 Waiting for College
Sonoma County families welcoming a new baby can celebrate another milestone: their childâs first scholarship. Through the California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program (CalKIDS), every baby born in California on or after July 1, 2022, automatically receives a CalKIDS Scholarship Account â totaling over $1 million reserved for Sonoma County children. The state invests up to $175 per child: $100 for being born in California, $25 for claiming the account online, and $50 for linking it to a ScholarShare 529 College Savings Plan. Claiming is simple and free at CalKIDS.org with basic birth information.
Research shows that children with savings are three times more likely to attend college and four times more likely to graduate. âCalKIDS is a powerful way to show families that their childâs future matters from the very beginning,â said Jackie Thu-Huong Wong, Executive Director of First 5 California. Since launching in 2022, CalKIDS has created over 5 million accounts and invested $2 billion statewide, helping families turn small steps into lifelong educational opportunities.

Las familias del Condado de Sonoma que reciben a un nuevo bebÊ tambiÊn celebran otro logro: la primera beca de su hijo. A travÊs del programa California Kids Investment and Development Savings (CalKIDS), cada bebÊ nacido en California a partir del 1 de julio de 2022 recibe automÃĄticamente una cuenta de beca CalKIDS, con mÃĄs de $1 millÃŗn destinados a niÃąos del condado. El programa invierte hasta $175 por niÃąo: $100 por nacer en California, $25 por reclamar la cuenta en lÃnea y $50 por vincularla a un plan de ahorro universitario ScholarShare 529. Reclamarla es fÃĄcil y gratuito en CalKIDS.org con la informaciÃŗn bÃĄsica del nacimiento.
Las investigaciones muestran que los niÃąos con ahorros son tres veces mÃĄs propensos a ir a la universidad y cuatro veces mÃĄs a graduarse. âCalKIDS demuestra que el futuro de los niÃąos importa desde el inicio,â dijo Jackie Thu-Huong Wong, directora ejecutiva de First 5 California. Desde su lanzamiento en 2022, CalKIDS ha creado mÃĄs de 5 millones de cuentas y ha invertido $2 mil millones en todo el estado, impulsando a las familias a construir un futuro educativo desde los primeros dÃas de vida.
