There’s more to college and university than just classes. Navigating the costs that come with a post-secondary program is just as much a learning experience as Psych 101—for both students, and the adults in their lives. The best time to start—both saving for school, and learning how to handle money—is when kids are still young. That’s why our Student Money Guide begins with the basics: How to help kids understand the value of money; set them up with their first bank accounts; and all about registered education savings plans (RESPs).
When kids are grown and ready to live on their own, check out the sections on applying for student loans, scholarships and bursaries; covering tuition costs, handling housing expenses; and more.
