Affordable Quality Education

State college was too expensive. So we went to Sage.

And it made all the difference. That's right, for 88% of our students, Sage costs less than a state school. Sage's financial aid packages meet 100% of need - meaning you pay what you can afford. At Sage we are committed to making a quality private college education affordable.

More than 90 percent of Sage students receive some form of financial aid. Sage participates in and administers all federal and state need-based loan, grant, and scholarship programs. Additionally, we offer institutional scholarship and need-based grants.
