Scotiabank is reminding Canadians that there are only 25 days left to have their RESP contributions qualify for the Canada Educational Savings Grant.

RESP contributions must be made by December 31 in order to qualify for this year’s CESG. The bank suggests giving the the gift of education this year with an RESP account.

“At Scotiabank, we realize that Canadians want their children to have the best possible opportunities,” says Ron Laursen, senior vice president Day-to- Day Banking, Scotiabank.

“Canadians can take advantage of the Canada Education Savings Grant which will pay a 20% contribution to the first $2,000 of RESP contributions per child made before December 31.”
