Helping School Employees Cope With College Expenses

slide-15
SLIDE 15

 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

Tuition Rewards™ 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.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

 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

Tuition Rewards™ Points

slide-17
SLIDE 17

 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

How are Tuition Rewards™ Points Accumulated?

*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)

slide-18

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!

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Why are colleges participating?

 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

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Enrollment Process

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
