We makes it possible for employers to provide their employees’ children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews with a guaranteed college scholarship at over one third of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, NAICU. All scholarships are funded by a network of colleges called the SAGE Scholar network. 80% of the colleges have received an “America’s Best” ranking from U.S. News and World Report.
Employers can provide this benefit at no cost to themselves or their employees when offering voluntary benefits or employee benefits from sponsoring insurers. Alternately employer can pay a small annual administrative fee.

Employers
How powerful would it be to attract and retain employees by saying, “At our company one of the benefits is we help put your children through college”, all while incurring no new employee benefit costs. Alternately, how powerful a tool would this be in your competitors employee benefit package?
