The Story of Our Owl
As Canada's most established RESP provider, it is fitting that we identify ourselves with a timeless symbol of foresight, empowerment and wisdom - the Owl. In particular, the Acadian Owl, with a habitat that ranges throughout Canada. Across cultures around the world, the owl is considered to possess special powers, most notably the ability to reach its goals through darkness and unpredictable future. These skills and qualities are the core of our business, and establish our competitive advantage.

A distinguished 46-year history

The Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation, established in 1960, is one of Canada's most experienced and reliable providers of Registered Education Savings Plans, with over $2.3 billion in assets under management in more than 450,000 plans. Its mission is to encourage access to higher education by removing financial barriers to post-secondary education. The Foundation is the sponsor of the Canadian Scholarship Trust Plans, which are distributed and administered through its subsidiary, C.S.T. Consultants Inc. Managing RESPs is our only business, and our key focus is the growth and protection of your investment - to ensure the money for post-secondary education will be there when your child needs it.

Our financial strength provides security you can trust. We have returned over $1.6 billion in principal and education assistance payments to plan holders and students. We can help you and your child, too.
