Within the basic Canada Education Savings Grant, the government matches 20% of the first $2,500 you contribute to your RESP, annually. This gives you an extra $500 in grants each year if you maximize your savings.
Children from middle- and low-income families might be eligible to receive an Additional CESG. If you are eligible, an extra 10% or 20% will be added to the first $500 you contribute to an RESP each year, allowing you to grow your plan faster.
Keep in mind that the total combined lifetime maximum for the CESG and ACESG is $7,200 per beneficiary.
