Featured College
Erskine College, located in Due West, South Carolina, has been preparing students to flourish in lives of learning, service and leadership for more than 175 years. With its heritage of thoughtful scholarship, Christian commitment and intentional community, Erskine offers a rich undergraduate experience — engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community and successful outcomes.
Ranked among the nation’s best liberal arts colleges, Erskine provides an environment in which students can be challenged and inspired. Students work hard, think creatively and critically and explore options across a variety of disciplines. Erskine’s small size means students can get to know just about everyone on campus, including professors, who can become mentors and friends.
The beautiful Erskine campus affords opportunities for fellowship and leadership through residence life, student government and a variety of student organizations — Christian ministries, literary and honor societies, service clubs and interest groups. Erskine is committed to Christian authenticity: what students learn and how they live are inseparable foundations for an excellent education.
Students can work with faculty members to craft a course of study that suits their individual strengths and career interests. Erskine encourages undergraduate research and enjoys an outstanding record of placing graduates in medical school, pharmacy school and related programs.
At Erskine, the unique talents, interests and contributions of each student really matter; each student helps to shape the experience for others. Erskine fields 14 intercollegiate teams in NCAA Division II as part of Conference Carolinas and also offers intramural and recreational programs.
For Families
Tuition Reward Points accrue like frequent flyer miles and are typically earned through an affiliated financial institution, health insurance, or employer. These include 529 plans, banks, brokerage firms, companies, credit unions, mutual funds, non-profits and diverse financial service companies involved in life insurance, health insurance or retirement plans. Your Tuition Rewards Points represent guaranteed minimum discounts off the "list price" of tuition at many of America's best private colleges.
For Colleges
The SAGE Scholars Tuition Rewards Consortium is a unique private college enrollment marketing tool to fill a "traditional" freshman class. Our member colleges & universities are able to identify prospective students from families who are actively saving and planning for higher education or work for a company that provides good benefits... and who have indicated interest in attending a private college. SAGE Students tend to be well qualified - both academically and financially.
For Employers
Employees of companies which offer voluntary benefits through select national insurers, or who partner directly with SAGE can earn guaranteed college scholarships for use at over almost 400 private colleges and universities across the United States, for their children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, based on their 401(k), 403(b), profit-sharing or other company sponsored retirement savings plan. Tuition Rewards is available nationwide through over 135,000 participating employers. What could be better than helping to make the ever-escalating cost of college more affordable for your employees? Tuition Rewards should help give your company an edge in workplace satisfaction - and in attracting and retaining talent.
For Financial Institutions
SAGE's Tuition Rewards program is a college savings and investment plan like no other. We've expanded our program so that families can now earn Tuition Rewards on 529 saving plans, CDs, mutual funds, 401(k)s, IRAs, supplemental retirement accounts, annuities, insurance products (with cash value), reverse mortgages, brokerage accounts, certain income-replacement health insurance products, and even home equity lines of credit.
"The program helps differentiate Harleysville Savings Bank in an industry with commoditized products, and it gives customers reason to stay with the bank."
