Humber students now have a new way to help fund for their education. Thanks to a partnership with the Higher Ed Points program, students, families, friends and alumni will be able to convert their Aeroplan® Loyalty program miles into funds to offset their college fees.
Every 35,000 Aeroplan Miles will be worth a $250 tuition credit. Students can convert their own points, or family and friends can convert points for a student of their choice. Details about the process can be found at higheredpoints.com/how-it-works.
Later this winter, college supporters will also be able to donate their Aeroplan® Miles to Humber’s charitable pooling account that supports a general scholarships fund for all Humber students.
More information is available at aeroplan.com/donate or by emailing alumni@humber.ca.
