Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) offer an effective way to maximize the money available to your children or grandchildren when they enroll in a full-time post-secondary program. Withdrawals are taxed in the hands of the student, typically at a lower rate. And anyone, parents, grandparents, other family members and friends, can open an RESP for a child.
