Don’t think you can find money to put into education savings? You may be surprised. To help you save for your child's education after high school, the Government of Canada will add to your savings in a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) with a Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG). Even with no savings, you could qualify for $500 or more from the Government of Canada with the Canada Learning Bond.
