Turn everyday banking relationships into college opportunities.
Build a Tuition Rewards program around the relationships and customer actions that matter to your institution. Reward balances, products, engagement and loyalty with a college benefit families can use.
What do you want to reward?
Tuition Rewards can support the relationships and customer activities that matter most to your institution. Build your program around one-time milestones, ongoing engagement, long-term relationships, or a combination of all three.
Welcome new customers and families.
Award Tuition Rewards when customers join your program, enroll students, or establish new banking relationships.
Recognize deeper financial relationships.
Connect Tuition Rewards to important products and milestones as customers expand their relationship with your institution.
Encourage the ways customers bank with you.
Rewards can recognize both one-time enrollment and ongoing activity across the services your customers use every day.
Let the benefit grow with the relationship.
Tuition Rewards can continue building over time, giving families another reason to maintain and deepen their relationship with your institution.
Choose the products, relationships and activities that align with your institution’s goals. SAGE Scholars works with you to structure the Tuition Rewards program around them.
Build relationships that can grow for years.
Tuition Rewards gives families another reason to build a broader, longer-lasting relationship with your institution. As customers save, borrow, spend and engage, their college benefit can grow alongside that relationship.
Instead of attaching value to a single promotion or product, your institution can use Tuition Rewards across multiple stages of the customer relationship, from opening an account to buying a home, growing savings and remaining a loyal customer for years.
Grow deposits and relationships
Connect rewards to qualifying savings, money market and CD balances, giving families another reason to keep and grow assets with your institution.
Increase product engagement
Use Tuition Rewards across mortgages, home equity, cards, direct deposit and other products to make a broader banking relationship more valuable.
Strengthen long-term loyalty
College planning happens over years. Recurring rewards, referrals and relationship milestones create opportunities to remain relevant throughout that journey.
Tuition Rewards can be used for eligible immediate and extended family members, helping the value of your banking relationship reach children, grandchildren and other loved ones.
Your goals. Your program. Our administration.
Every institution is different. We work with you to build a Tuition Rewards program around your objectives, then provide the platform, college network and support behind it.
Choose what you want to reward
Select the products, balances, customer actions or relationship milestones that support your institution's goals.
Define how customers earn
Use one-time awards, recurring rewards, balance-based rewards or a combination that fits your program.
We handle the administration
SAGE Scholars provides the Tuition Rewards platform, participating college network, participant support and ongoing program administration.
Families build college value
Customers earn Tuition Rewards that eligible students can use for guaranteed scholarships at 435+ participating private colleges.
Banks and credit unions can offer Tuition Rewards to customers, employees or both, creating value on both sides of the relationship.
Give members another reason to choose you.
Tuition Rewards connects the financial relationships you're already building with a benefit families can understand, remember and use.
Tuition Rewards helps credit unions stand out from the crowd. The guaranteed scholarship benefit makes credit unions more appealing to current and potential members, strengthens member loyalty, and reinforces the credit union’s commitment to the well-being of its members.
