Helping School Employees Cope With College Expenses
Tuition Rewards™ Points are discounts to tuition at
participating private colleges and universities across the country
Think “frequent flyer miles”, but for college tuition
costs instead of airline tickets
Offered by Kades-Margolis to public school
employees through their employers
Same program, offered under:
Upromise Rewards* PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan (formerly TAP)*
*If you already participate in one of these programs, you are still eligible to enroll through Kades-Margolis to earn additional points
Over 400,000 Current Participants in the SAGE Tuition Rewards™ Program
The use of Tuition Rewards is limited to full-time, undergraduate tuition at participating colleges. Tuition Rewards are remitted solely as a reduction to the participating college’s full tuition bill – and NOT awarded in cash. Colleges reserve the right to use the tuition reduction as part of, or separate from, any financial aid packages. Member colleges are not required to accept Tuition Rewards on transfer students.
1 Tuition Reward™ Point = $1 towards tuition
For example – if a student has 10,000 Tuition Rewards™ Points, he or
she is guaranteed to receive a minimum scholarship of $10,000 (spread equally over four years) at a SAGE member school.
Maximum points that can be used for any one student = First year’s
tuition split over 4 years
Represents the minimum scholarship that an eligible student will
receive if and when he or she attends a member school
Students may still qualify for other scholarships, awards, loans,
grants, etc., dependent on individual college policy
5% of the employee’s 403(b) and/or 457(b) account balance(s)* upon
enrollment into the program, and each year thereafter; OR
If no 403(b), 457(b), or account balances are less than $20,000; a
minimum of 1,000 points upon enrollment into the program and each year thereafter
You must meet with a Kades-Margolis representative each year to
sign up for your annual points
*Accounts need not be with KMC; employee’s may use an account balance with any 403(b) or 457(b) vendor No requirement to have or to purchase a 403(b)/457(b)
All employees of the school can enroll as a sponsor during
the enrollment period
Annual opportunity to enroll and to accumulate future points
Sponsors may enroll their children, grandchildren, nieces,
nephews, other family members, and godchildren
May enroll children up to August 31st of the year 11th grade
begins
Enroll an unlimited number of eligible children
Sponsors may allocate accumulated points among their
named eligible students
Must assign points to children by August 31st of the year
12th grade begins
Sponsors may re-allocate accumulated points to other

Over 370 Participating Private Colleges Nationwide In PA: Albright, Arcadia, Cabrini, Duquesne, Lycoming,
Rosemont, Widener and 47 other colleges and universities
Out of state: Creighton, DePaul, Ohio Wesleyan, Valparaiso,
and hundreds of other colleges across the nation
Visit www.tuitionrewards.com for a complete list of
participating colleges and universities
More colleges and universities are being added all the time!
It’s a way to attract more students!
Because they have built up tuition points:
Parents may “encourage” their child to visit one or more of these
colleges during their college visitation tours
Parents may “encourage” their child to enroll in one of these colleges
College enrollments are down and competition is fierce. These
private colleges need to remain affordable to parents due to:
Competition from Community Colleges Competition from less expensive state schools
These colleges will have a list of Tuition Reward™ Program
participants to use for communications of their marketing material and recruiting packages
Kades-Margolis Representatives will enroll employees during annual open enrollment periods
No obligation to purchase a TSA or any other product to participate Simply meet with the KMC representative to register as sponsor and
designate a student
