Suzanne Tyson

After meeting hundreds of students who needed help funding their higher education, Suzanne Tyson vowed to find new and innovative ways that they could pay. While ample funding exists for the 10-20% of students who are top academic performers, and for the 10-20% of students in dire financial need, little exists for the rest. Noting 11 loyalty program cards in her wallet one day, Suzanne got the idea for HigherEdPoints.com. Today, loyalty points from participating programs can be redeemed for a HigherEdPoints education credit that can then be applied to tuition at numerous schools across Canada.
