Points for School and CST partner to provide families with an innovative source of RESP funding

TORONTO, Dec. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Starting today, through an innovative partnership between Points for School Inc. and the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CST), Canadians can use their loyalty points to fund a CST Spark Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP).

"We're thrilled to be working with CST, leaders in the educational savings industry to offer this unique way to fund RESPs," says Suzanne Tyson, CEO of Points for School. "Everyone is feeling the financial pinch these days, so this new option allows parents a way to preserve their cash while still funding their children's future education."

Canadians are still some of the most avid loyalty program participants in the world. According to Patrick Sojka, Founder of RewardsCanada.ca, Canadians have 20 to 30 or more loyalty program memberships, often with an intentional focus of active participation in 6 to 10 core programs. 

"Partnering with Points for Schools was a natural fit to expand RESP funding options for Canadians," said Jeff Beck, Chief Marketing Officer at CST Savings Inc. "We know that Canadians are finding it difficult to save for post-secondary education. Our partnership with Points for School will allow families to increase their contributions. Even if parents have limited loyalty points, they often know relatives who are eager to help. Every contribution supports a stronger future for their child's education."

Participating in the Points for School program is free to members and opening a CST Spark account is quick and easy.
