Higher One believes in collaborative work and open communication with student organizations, that is why Higher One is a proud member of the American Student Government Association.

Higher One employs Mary Johnson, Financial Literacy & Consumer Advocacy Program Manager, whose primary objective is to educate students about fiscal responsibility.  Money Talk with Mary, Higher One’s Money Makeover Contest and numerous speaking engagements nationwide are examples of programming that the Company has created to respond actively to the needs of students.

Lauren Perry, Campus Relations Coordinator, is Higher One’s liaison with the student population on campus.  In her role she travels to colleges nationwide to explain the benefits of Higher One’s service to students.  Lauren also oversees Higher One’s Student Activities Fund which is a program that supports, through monetary donations, student run organizations on campus.  Higher One recognizes that student organizations’ budgets are shrinking every year.  Higher One wants to help make sure that events and activities these groups offer can continue in the future.

The One Scholarship is awarded annually to students at colleges and universities nationally who partner with Higher One, are enrolled either full or part time, are 18 years or older and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.   This year 20 recipients received $2,500 toward their college or university tuition.
