For Parents

New to the program? Welcome to Future Bound Miami!

Future Bound Miami is a Children’s Savings Account (CSA) program that provides a simple and effective way to open a savings account to help your child prepare for college or other postsecondary educational opportunities upon high school graduation.

It can be a challenge to save for postsecondary education but starting early can make all the difference in your child’s future. Research shows that children with savings accounts with as little as $1 are more likely to pursue postsecondary education.This is why a consortium of community nonprofits launched the Future Bound Miami CSA program in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS). This savings initiative is designed to make postsecondary education more accessible and advance economic opportunities for families and children in Miami-Dade County.

All eligible kindergarten students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools will have the opportunity to participate and create a savings account with program contributions, regardless of income level or immigration status. Your child deserves to thrive and dream big and we believe that saving for those dreams makes a huge difference.

You can learn more about the research behind these types of accounts and details about how our program runs by reading our “Frequently Asked Questions” page. Your child will have this account until they graduate high school so we encourage you to make the most of it! Deposits through our banking partner EdFed will gain interest over time so the earlier you start, the better.
