Get $500 for a Child’s Education After High School

The Canada Learning Bond (CLB) is a grant offered by the Government of Canada to help parents, friends, and family members save early for the post-secondary education of children in modest-income families.

Who Can Get the Canada Learning Bond?

The Canada Learning Bond is available to children who meet specific criteria outlined by the Canada Education Savings Program. Check out Canlearn.ca to find out who qualifies for the bond.

How Much Money Could I Get from the Canada Learning Bond?

The Government of Canada will make a one-time payment of $500 into the RESP of children who qualify for the Canada Learning Bond and a $100 deposit each subsequent year the child’s primary caregiver receives the National Child Benefit Supplement, to a maximum of $2,000. Canlearn.ca offers more information regarding the amount of CLB the child could receive.

At the high-school level, students who eat before or at school were more likely to graduate than their hungry counterparts.
