Future Bound
Invest in Your Child’s Future with Future Bound Miami
Future Bound Miami is a Children’s Savings Account (CSA) program that provides families with a free, long-term savings tool for college or postsecondary education. Students are only eligible to opt-in during their kindergarten year. To help jumpstart these savings, an initial deposit of up to $50 is automatically provided upon account activation. Research shows that children with savings accounts are more likely to attend and graduate with a postsecondary credential.
The unique structure of this high-quality summer internship program includes parent, student and employer orientations conducted virtually, online pre-internship training for interns, student interns assigned to certified M-DCPS teachers, a curriculum consisting of weekly assignments, an online interface, and Miami.GetMyInterns.org for enrollment and matching of student interns and employers.
program benefits
- No Cost: There are no account fees or minimum deposit requirements.
- Flexible Use: Funds cover tuition, books, and supplies, even if you have other savings plans.
- Secure Savings: This is a deposit-only account, ensuring funds remain secure at EdFed until your child graduates from high school.
- Private: Immigration status does not affect eligibility, and participation does not impact public benefits.
Activation forms and brochures are included in the kindergarten registration packet and will also be sent home in student backpacks. Parents can also enroll now using the activation link. Signed forms should be returned to your child’s teacher, not an EdFed branch.
