A: A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a great way to save for a child or grandchild’s post-secondary education. Eligible studies include college and university, as well as trade schools and similar post-secondary programs.
There are potential federal and provincial government grants and bonds when contributing to a RESP, the most common of which is the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG). A RESP beneficiary can receive a 20 per cent grant on up to $2,500 per year of contributions ($5,000 if catching up on a previous year of missed grants). These grants get deposited to a RESP account by the government after a contribution is made.
