Featured College
Elmhurst University (IL), is located in a quiet, safe suburb close to shopping and restaurants and just a 30-minute train ride to Chicago. The 48-acre Elmhurst campus is a registered arboretum boasting more than 900 varieties of trees and shrubs. The University was founded in 1871 and has a long history of preparing students for lifetimes of professional achievement.
Elmhurst offers its 2,800 traditional undergraduates a choice of more than 60 majors, including 15 pre-professional programs. An honors program provides additional opportunities for especially motivated, talented and curious students. All classes at Elmhurst are taught by professors, not teaching assistants. The average class has 20 students; the student-to-faculty ratio - 13 to 1 - is among the best in higher education. Full-time staff members devoted to professional practice help students explore career options, land great internships and turn dreams into a working reality. Students get involved in more than 100 activities, from theatre to intramurals to the mock trial team to 20 varsity sports.
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 425 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."
