Tuition Rewards is a unique rewards program, offered by employers, health insurers, financial institutions,
and non-profits, to address American families’ number one financial concern — a college education
for their children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Each Tuition Rewards Point represents a guaranteed
minimum scholarship (discount) equivalent to one dollar, with a maximum discount of up to one year’s
tuition, spread equally over 4 years of full-time undergraduate education. The number of Points redeemed
determine the minimum, guaranteed tuition discount a student can receive at over
455 SAGE Scholars colleges and universities.
The student may receive more — but cannot receive less.
Even if you don't have an eligible student in your family right now, you can still register and begin to earn Tuition Rewards.
The sooner you register, the more points you will have accrued for a loved one when they attend a member college
or university.
Do not enter a student’s information on this page. You must register first
as the adult who will sponsor students. You will be able to add the students in your family after you have completed your enrollment.
Tuition Rewards are NOT awarded in cash. If all requirements have been met, and the student's Rewards were submitted within 10 days of application, you are guaranteeing that the student will be awarded scholarships, grants, or other awards at least equal to the amount of points submitted (1 point = $1, up to the college's stated maximum), divided equally over a projected four (4) years* of undergraduate education.
For example, a student with 20,000 points - having met the deadlines - would be guaranteed to receive no less than $5,000 in total scholarships, grants or other discounts, provided by the college or university, for each of the four years* he or she would attend. Should the student qualify for more than is guaranteed by the Tuition Rewards, the student will receive the higher amount but cannot receive less.
The financial aid award letter may not specifically identify "Tuition Rewards". Colleges reserve the right to privately label Tuition Rewards Points as their own award. As long as the college award equals or exceeds the student's submitted Tuition Rewards Points the college has met its obligation.
* can be divided equally over five (5) years if student is enrolled in a co-op program.
