Some States Are Giving Newborns Savings Accounts for College

Oklahoma s savings account for newborns spurred a greater interest in pursuing higher education. Sen. Cory Booker reintroduced legislation in February to give every newborn $1,000 in college savings. Providing newborns with college savings accounts at birth has been an idea that has floated around lawmakers minds for years. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, for example, campaigned on baby bonds when running for president, which would provide every child with a $1,000 savings account. Some states are now beginning to follow suit. New research reveals those efforts could have an encouraging impact on children s futures in the years ahead. An Oklahoma research project, called SEED for Oklahoma Kids or SEED OK, launched 14 years ago by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis to study whether creating a savings account for newborns would improve graduation rates and chances of going to college years later.
