Case Study
Kindergarten to College (K2C)
A First-in-the-Nation Initiative to Set All Kindergartners on the Path to College
New research shows that children with savings accounts will be up to seven times more likely to attend college than those without an account. This is true regardless of the family’s income, race, or educational attainment.
San Francisco’s Kindergarten to College (K2C) program is a city/private partnership that ultimately will open a college-dedicated savings account for every kindergartner enrolled in the city’s schools.
A new paper was released this week, “Kindergarten to College: A First-in-the-Nation Initiative to Set All Kindergartners on the Path to College,” written by Anne Stuhldreher, Senior Research Fellow at the New America Foundation, and Leigh Phillips from the San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment.
