Suzanne Tyson - Converting loyalty points into tuition and student loan payments

Tashika Season 1 Episode 1

In 2013, Suzanne Tyson combined all of her previous career experience to conceive, develop and launch HigherEdPoints.com, the only company in the world to enable the conversion of existing loyalty points into funds for higher education. Her efforts with HigherEdPoints have directly assisted students and parents’ funding over $2Min tuition payments and student loan repayments. HigherEd Points is the largest source of private sector educational funding for all students: no essays required! Recognizing that it takes a village to raise a mind™ and indeed a village to fund an education, Suzanne also created the Ways to Pay for School seminar to provide students and families with information on all available sources of funding, before, during and after post-secondary. The seminars cover every other type of educational funding—RESPs, scholarships, jobs and everything in between.
