The Businesses for a Better Sage Agreement is designed to assist organizations with employee recruitment, retention, and ongoing professional resources and training. Sage is a partner in making the best use of tuition assistance funds provided by your company. Sage supports the efforts of businesses to attract and retain highly-qualified professionals. If your employer is a partner, Sage will discount your tuition by 10%.

In order to qualify for the Businesses for a Better Sage discount and deferment a student must:
- Be a matriculated student in an approved program (see below).

- Students utilizing the Businesses for a Better Sage discount are still required to pay enrollment and/or registration deposits in accordance to college policy.
- The Businesses for a Better Sage Agreement form needs to be completed for each semester the student enrolls.
