Featured College
Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion, IN), an evangelical Christian comprehensive university of The Wesleyan Church, is the largest institution affiliated with the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) and Indiana's largest private university.
Nearly 3,200 undergraduates attend classes on IWU's 320-acre main campus. With many buildings constructed in the last 20 years, students live and learn in state-of-the-art residence halls and academic facilities.
Students exploring the 80+ undergraduate and 30+ graduate degrees at IWU experience a uniquely engaging academic experience. The curricular innovation, hands-on learning experiences, undergraduate student research with faculty, and culture of professors mentoring students is captured in our ranking of #6 Best Schools for Student Engagement in America (Wall Street Journal / Times Higher Education, 2018).
The University has received both regional and national accolades recognizing its programs and facilities. Rankings have included the following: No. 1 “Best College Dorms in Indiana" (niche.com), No. 1 “Best Nursing School in Indiana" (best-nursing-colleges.com), No. 2 “Best Accounting School in Indiana" (best-accounting-schools.com) and No. 3 “Most Inviting Yet Affordable College Dorms in America" (affordableschools.net).
University athletic teams compete in the Mid-Central College Conference. IWU teams have won 12 NAIA National Championships and 29 National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Championships. The men's and women's basketball teams claimed back-to-back National NAIA Division II Championships in 2013 and 2014. The men's team conquered again in 2016 and 2018, making them one of only two teams to ever earn three titles in five years in NAIA Division II history.
For Families
Tuition Reward Points accrue like frequent flyer miles and are typically earned through an affiliated financial institution, health insurance, or employer. These include 529 plans, banks, brokerage firms, companies, credit unions, mutual funds, non-profits and diverse financial service companies involved in life insurance, health insurance or retirement plans. Your Tuition Rewards Points represent guaranteed minimum discounts off the "list price" of tuition at many of America's best private colleges.
For Colleges
The SAGE Scholars Tuition Rewards Consortium is a unique private college enrollment marketing tool to fill a "traditional" freshman class. Our member colleges & universities are able to identify prospective students from families who are actively saving and planning for higher education or work for a company that provides good benefits... and who have indicated interest in attending a private college. SAGE Students tend to be well qualified - both academically and financially.
For Employers
Employees of companies which offer voluntary benefits through select national insurers, or who partner directly with SAGE can earn guaranteed college scholarships for use at over almost 425 private colleges and universities across the United States, for their children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, based on their 401(k), 403(b), profit-sharing or other company sponsored retirement savings plan. Tuition Rewards is available nationwide through over 135,000 participating employers. What could be better than helping to make the ever-escalating cost of college more affordable for your employees? Tuition Rewards should help give your company an edge in workplace satisfaction - and in attracting and retaining talent.
For Financial Institutions
SAGE's Tuition Rewards program is a college savings and investment plan like no other. We've expanded our program so that families can now earn Tuition Rewards on 529 saving plans, CDs, mutual funds, 401(k)s, IRAs, supplemental retirement accounts, annuities, insurance products (with cash value), reverse mortgages, brokerage accounts, certain income-replacement health insurance products, and even home equity lines of credit.
"The program helps differentiate Harleysville Savings Bank in an industry with commoditized products, and it gives customers reason to stay with the bank."
