Olivet College has signed on to offer its students SAGE Tuition Advantage, an attractive 0% APR financing option.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 17, 2012
The SAGE Tuition Advantage program is designed to help participating colleges promote student retention, increase net tuition revenue and lower discount rates.
SAGE Tuition Advantage is an innovative “hybrid” program attractive to colleges because it is low cost for families, generates cash flow for schools and provides third-party loan management, relieving colleges of both administrative burden and compliance risk. Colleges make no capital investment and pay no up-front costs.
“We look forward to using the SAGE Tuition Advantage product in the coming months. As an extended payment plan, this is a very attractive option for many of our families,” says Bill Kurtz, Senior Vice President and CFO for Olivet College.
Matt Scotty, President of National Education, added "In our discussions with Olivet College, their team has shown an excellent awareness of the many variables that affect net tuition revenue. We are happy they have recognized SAGE Tuition Advantage as a tool that will benefit both the college and its students."
The program does NOT affect a college’s current cash flows from other sources, such as loans, federal aid, state aid and direct payment from families.
