How Tuition Rewards Works

SAGE Scholars Tuition Rewards is a program that can turn everyday affiliations into minimum institutional aid at participating private colleges.

Points Have a Dollar Value

Each Tuition Rewards point equals $1 in minimum institutional aid at member schools. Points apply evenly over four years of full-time undergraduate study.

No Cost to Join

There is no fee to enroll, earn, or redeem points.

Flexible for the Family

Points can be used for children, grandchildren, or other family members, including extended family, subject to current program rules.


What Families Should Know

SAGE Scholars partners with nearly 500 private colleges and universities. At most participating colleges, families may reduce tuition by up to 25 percent. That figure is a program description, not a personal guarantee from Atlas Benefits Advisor. Confirm current schools and award rules with SAGE Scholars before you count on a number.

You can earn points through everyday relationships: a 529 plan, employer benefits, banking or investing, life insurance, a membership organization, or work with a participating advisor.

Tuition Rewards does not replace saving. A 529 and this program can sit side by side. Atlas Benefits Advisor explains your options in plain language so you can decide what fits.
