The professional preparation that MacMurray offers is anchored by the college’s foundation sequence of courses, which helps prepare graduates to enter the workforce ready to analyze information, confidently discuss options with peers and management, and help solve challenges.
Employers recognize that MacMurray graduates are ready for their professions: During the past several years of a difficult economy, more than 90 percent of MacMurray graduates were either accepted to graduate school or employed full time within a year of graduation. With a comprehensive aid package – 98% of MacMurray students receive scholarships or grants – MacMurray is among the most affordable private colleges in Illinois.
The small class sizes and the engaged professors, whose main job is teaching you, mean that you will soon know most of the other students and the faculty by name, and they will know you as an individual. According to a national survey of nearly 365,000 college students at more than 600 institutions, MacMurray seniors reported they have a more supportive campus environment, more interaction with faculty in and out of class, and more involvement in community and service learning than seniors at similar colleges in the Midwest and across the country.
This lets us truthfully say: MacMurray College – Where You Matter.
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 400 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."
