All children born in 2019 and after to Pennsylvania residents, including children who are adopted, have a Keystone Scholars account in their name with $100 for postsecondary education expenses.
Pennsylvania Treasury provides $100 for every baby born to a Pennsylvania family on or after January 1, 2019. This investment can be used for your child's future postsecondary education expenses and will grow alongside your child.
How It Works:
Keystone Scholars creates and funds accounts for all eligible children approximately four to six months after they’re born.
How To Access Your Account:
Eligible families will receive a letter letting them know that their account is funded and ready to activate online.
Don’t have your letter?
Parents can still activate their child’s account online four to six months after birth using the Pennsylvania birth certificate number, date of birth and zip code.
