The focus of the case studies and the webinar is on imagining different ways that Children’s Savings Account (CSA) programs can leverage these accounts and connect families to multiple asset building streams for the purpose of helping all children reach their full potential.

The webinar will begin with comments from Dr. William Elliott, who has researched the EAS Program extensively in recent years. Presentations from each of the five CSA programs will be followed by 45 minutes of moderated Q&A. The webinar will be recorded and available for viewing about one week after the event.

The full report, executive summary, and case study about the Community Foundation's Early Award Scholarship program can each be found on the AEDI website, aedi.ssw.umich.edu/.
