Imagine a cost-effective employee benefit that helped to ease the burden of the rising cost of college for your employees. Tuition Rewards not only boosts workplace satisfaction but also gives your company an advantage in attracting and retaining talent. With Tuition Rewards, you can help directly address the top financial concern for American families: affording a college education.
How Does it Work?
-
Earning Tuition Rewards
Employees will receive 2,000 Tuition Rewards Points annually. After the fourth year, each employee will receive a one-time 2,500 Tuition Rewards Points as a bonus! Each Tuition Rewards Point is equal to a $1.00 guaranteed minimum reduction in tuition. -
Student Beneficiaries
Employees can not only sponsor their immediate children, but also grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other students in their extended families. Employees with no eligible children now can begin earning Tuition Rewards for use in the future! Once an employee earns Tuition Rewards, those points will never expire. -
Easy to Manage
We’ve designed our program to be simple and easy to manage. Employees can register in under a minute, or you can provide a simple census file and we’ll take care of the rest! All you have to do is let your employees know about the program. We’ll even supply the employee handouts!
If your employees have existing Tuition Rewards through an organization that is no longer active in our program, we can quickly convert your entire company to our new program. SAGE Scholars Employer Direct is a quick and easy way to ensure that employees’ Tuition Rewards accounts continue to grow!
What a terrific perk from my employer!
The ability to earn future discounts on my kids’ college tuition makes the prospects for funding their education that much easier. Every dollar counts, and the number, quality and diversity of schools that have partnered with this program is really impressive.
