Annual Fund

It's all about scholarship.
Sage scholars count on your generosity. Your gift to the 2009-2010 Sage Fund for Excellence in Education will help raise the level of scholarship at Sage. The Annual Fund provides immediate funds for:

  • Scholarships for Sage students

    • Financial aid in the form of merit scholarships, need-based awards, loans, grants, and work-study funds put a Sage education within reach.

  • Support for faculty and students in their pursuit of greater knowledge

    • Students work as colleagues with faculty members on original research projects, culminating in public presentations at national conferences.

  • Sage sharing its knowledge for the benefit of the community

    • Students take what is learned in class and apply it in the real world, through community service and independent studies.

Your participation in the Sage Fund for Excellence in Education is crucial to Sage's continued cultivation of scholarship and pursuit of excellence. Every gift, no matter the amount, brings us closer to raising our alumnae/i participation rate, resulting in higher college rankings and increased foundation support for Sage.

The Annual Fund comprises unrestricted gifts that are made to Sage during the fiscal year, May 1- April 30. Make a difference in a scholar's life today - make your donation the easy ONLINE way!
