Tuition Discount – Sage Scholars

As a client of The College Funding Connection, you can receive a very unique reward – the opportunity for the students in your family to earn discounts on tuition at an expanding national “network” of 270+ private colleges & universities!  Make college more affordable for your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc.. Enroll them ASAP in Tuition Rewards from SAGE Scholars, the nation’s largest private college saving program. Tuition Reward Points are similar to Frequent Flyer Miles and a great, free way to help your family save on college costs.

More than 190,000 students nationwide are now earning Tuition Reward Points that can be redeemed for tuition discounts — guaranteed minimum scholarships — at our participating private colleges & universities. The points give participating students an incentive to attend member colleges, which are looking to recruit more or better students. A college’s normal admissions standards apply.

Member colleges include well-known large universities (Creighton, DePaul, Drexel, Duquesne, Fairleigh-Dickinson, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Dayton, University of San Diego, Valparaiso) and a mix of smaller institutions from Maine to Hawaii.

Only private, four-year colleges are eligible to join. The reason is that state schools generally give in-state residents little or no financial aid that is not based on a determination of “need” using the FAFSA form (except athletic scholarships). Also, there are also approximately 50 very selective private colleges – Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. — where financial aid is solely based on “need” (except athletic scholarships, where permitted); because these schools do not discount tuition, they’re not eligible for our program.

Enrollment is easy. Become a client of The College Funding Connection and one of our advisers will complete the necessary paperwork for you. After pre-registration, you receive an email from Tuition Rewards. When you click on the link in the email and supply a user name and password, your account is “activated” — and you receive 500 Enrollment Bonus Points ($500 value). Plus, each student whom you enroll also earns 500 Points ($500 value) at time of enrollment. Students must be family members (children, stepchildren, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc.) who have not yet begun their junior year in high school. (Don’t wait!)

All students whom you enroll receive additional points on their birthdays until they start their senior year of high school. The earlier a student is enrolled, the greater the Tuition Rewards earned! When your student is a senior in high school, you must submit a Reward statement to participating colleges at time of application.
