Did you know you can get FREE MONEY for school after high school?

The Canada Learning Bond (CLB) is FREE money that the Government adds to Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) for children from low-income families. This money helps to pay the costs of a child’s full- or part-time studies after high school and can be used for:

  • apprenticeship programs and trade schools
  • CEGEPs
  • colleges and universities

No personal contributions to an RESP are required to receive the CLB. You just have to open an RESP account at a bank (no fees) and then apply for it.


 

How much a child could get:

The Government of Canada contributes up to $2,000 to an RESP for an eligible child. This includes:

  • $500 for the first year of eligibility
  • $100 each year the child continues to be eligible (up to and including the benefit year in which they turn 15)

 

Child eligibility:

A child is eligible for the FREE CLB money if they:

Request the CLB on behalf of an eligible child when you open a Registered Education Saving Plan at a bank.

Don’t forget! Regardless of income, open an RESP for your kids and receive more free money from the Canada Education Savings Program.
