E
very year in Canada, close to 400,000 children are born. This means, ev-
ery year, close to 400,000 sets of parents envision a bright future filled
with opportunity for their child.
It is the beginning of a rewarding path of planning and working towards this
future which for many will begin with post—secondary education. With cur-
rent projections estimating students enrolling in a Canadian university in 2035
could be paying as much as $29,394 for the first year of tuition — or more
than $121,118 over a four—year program* — it is prudent to think of saving for
post—secondary now, rather than later.
Since 1965, Knowledge First Financial has helped parents plan and save for their
children’s post—secondary education through peace—of—mind savings solu-
tions. With $3.72 billion in assets under management, Knowledge First Finan-
cial is one of the country’s leading Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP)
specialists, working with Canadians from coast to coast to maximize their sav-
ings with tailored, affordable plans.
