Seed for Oklahoma Kids

SEED for Oklahoma Kids provides Oklahoma families with a special opportunity to save for their children's future.

In 2007, families with newborns from across the state were randomly selected to participate in a research study. Half of the newborns in these families received $1,000 in a special SEED OK account in the Oklahoma College Savings Plan. Through SEED OK, these families can save for their children's future and may receive matching funds for their savings.

The State of Oklahoma is pleased to be part of this program and help plant a "seed" for the future of Oklahoma kids. Funding for SEED OK accounts is generously provided by the Ford Foundation. Research partners for the study include the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis and RTI International.
