## About this scholarship

The CalKIDS program is a state-sponsored initiative in California designed to help families establish college savings and improve access to higher education. Administered at Allan Hancock College, this program is specifically for eligible California public school students. It provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of pursuing a college degree or vocational training. Eligible students can receive up to $1,500 in funding to support their educational goals. To access these state-funded savings, students typically need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application, depending on their residency status, which helps financial aid offices determine overall eligibility for state and federal programs. This funding works alongside other financial aid options to reduce the out-of-pocket costs of attending college. For current dates and deadlines, students should see the official page for current dates. Applicants can also use the online eligibility tool provided by the state to verify their status.
