Tuition & books
The average cost of university tuition in Canada is $7,100 a year. Saving just $100 a month puts you on track to cover three years. And if they go to college instead? You’ll be covered.

Residence & meals
Living on campus can cost up to $30,000 a year. Saving around $208 a month helps you maximize your grants, and could cover most of those residence costs.

Save for the unexpected
One year of college or eight years of university? We’ll help you build the right savings plan no matter what they choose.
Around 60% of Canadians save for tuition first and contribute an average of $100 a month6.
Today, you pack lunch.
Tomorrow, you pay tuition.
