offering Tuition Rewards
Your loved one may receive more — but is guaranteed not to receive less.
35,000 Tuition Rewards Points represent a guaranteed minimum $35,000 scholarship at our member colleges. Points accrue like frequent flyer miles and can be earned simply by saving, investing, or through your employer.
Earn points, unlock guaranteed scholarships
Tuition Rewards Points accrue through everyday financial products and employers — and you don’t have to use those investments to pay for college. How you pay is always your choice.
Earn Points
Points are earned through affiliated financial institutions — 529 plans, banks, brokerage firms, credit unions, mutual funds, insurance products, and retirement plans — or simply through one of over 50,000 eligible employers nationwide.

Assign Points to a Student
Sponsors — parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles — register on our website to track and assign points to students. Points must be transferred to a student prior to August 31st of the year they begin 12th grade.
Apply & Redeem
When a student applies to a participating college, the Tuition Rewards statement must be submitted within 10 days of the application. The points become a guaranteed minimum scholarship at that institution.
Everything you need to know
Tuition Rewards is designed to be flexible for the whole family — from the sponsors who fund the points to the students who redeem them.
Who Can Be a Sponsor?
A Sponsor is typically the parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle who owns the Tuition Rewards account. Sponsors register on our website to track points, add students, assign points, and submit statements to member colleges.

Students may receive more than the minimum — but never less. That guarantee is what makes Tuition Rewards unlike any other college savings program.
Real families, real results
Families across America have used Tuition Rewards to make private college a reality for their students.
My son only applied to participating schools. The Tuition Rewards he earned allowed him to attend the school of his choice, which would have been financially difficult otherwise. This is a great program!
Tuition Rewards give my daughter the opportunity to attend a school that otherwise may have been financially unreachable. She now has more choices.
SAGE Scholars Tuition Rewards secured that I didn’t have to settle for second best, but instead gave me the opportunity to choose a college I wanted to go to — one where I will thrive. I am very thankful for the doors SAGE Scholars opened for me.
The sooner you enroll, the more points your student can accumulate. It’s never too early — students can be added from birth through the start of 12th grade.
