The Higher Ed Points program converts Aeroplan Miles into payments for higher education for participating institutions as an innovative source of funding for post-secondary education.
This creative program allows Aeroplan Members to pool their Aeroplan Miles to support a student – any Aeroplan Member can make a ‘payment’ on behalf of a student as long as they have the required student name, date of birth, and Algonquin College student number. Now it’s easier than ever for friends and family to pitch in for students’ post-secondary fees by simply converting Aeroplan Miles!
