NEVADA COLLEGE KICK START

Get a $50 kick start for education

Implemented in 2013, the Nevada College Kick Start program is the first statewide, universal children's savings account program in the country. Kick Start establishes a college savings scholarship account for every kingergarten student attending public school in Nevada. The accounts are set up automatically, using information from the student's school, with $50 deposited by the State of Nevada. The accounts are 100% FREE, with no charges or hidden costs. For students to keep the college savings scholarship account, parents are required to register the account to prevent it from expiring. The registration process is easy - the parent or guardian just creates a username and password.
