College Savings Programs

Franklin-McKinley School District (FMSD) is proud to offer different College Savings Programs for families. Going beyond FMSD's mission to ensure that all 8th-grade graduates are prepared for a college preparatory high school curriculum and have the skills to pursue university and/or career paths and lifelong learning, FMSD is partnering with Excite Foundation and CalKids to start a college savings program for all FMSD students.
