    College Dreams Come True

     

    Press Release

    The Class of 2023 is also the first graduating class that is part of the Kindergarten to College (K2C) program, marking a new milestone in City history. 

    “We started K2C so that every student in our public schools would know that they have a future worth saving for,” said San Francisco Treasurer José Cisneros. “K2C is beginning to deliver on the promise that every child growing up in San Francisco has not only a dream for college, but a pathway.”
