Education savings
Built for
education.
Your RESP can be used to cover the cost of more than just tuition, including living expenses and course books.
Tax deferred
growth.
No tax is charged on interest earned in your RESP until funds are withdrawn – typically by the child at a lower tax rate.
Government
grants.
The federal government boosts your contributions by up to $500 a year*, and provincial grants may add even more.
It pays to plan for your child’s future.
A post-secondary education is perhaps the greatest gift you can give a child. But it’s often an expense that surprises parents. Plan ahead with a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). Contributions are easy to set up, tax deferred, and potentially boosted by government grants if your child qualifies.
