Earning Tuition Rewards with (MBN-USA)

Tuition Rewards are awarded directly to each student whom you enroll & sponsor on your Tuition Rewards account. Points are rewarded annually on the student’s birthday:

• 1^st through 11^th birthday:  500 Points

• 12^th through 14^th birthday: 750 Points

• 15^th through 17^th birthday:  1,000 Points

As long as your customer renews the Customer’s Reward’s™/ MBN-USA family  savings program, the points will accrue until the students 17^th birthday (or Aug. 31^st of the year that the student begins the 12^th grade.)

How does the program work?

Tuition Rewards accrue like “Frequent Flyer Miles.” Each Tuition Reward point is equal to $1.00 in scholarships* at a SAGE member school.  This represents the minimum scholarship that a sponsored student will receive if he or she attends a participating college. For example: if a sponsored student accrues 13,000 Tuition Rewards points, assuming that all program terms and conditions are met, this is a guarantee that the student will receive at least $13,000 in scholarships or other non-loan based financial aid, spread equally over four years of undergraduate education.

*Like “Frequent Flyer Miles,” Tuition Reward Points cannot be redeemed for cash.

Tuition Rewards Frequently Asked Questions:

• You can sponsor as many students as you would like in Tuition Rewards as long as they are a family member (child, grandchild, stepchild, niece, nephew, etc.)

• Students must be registered in the program by August 31 of the year they begin 11^th grade. The earlier you add the students in your family to Tuition Rewards, the more Tuition Rewards they will earn!

• The maximum amount of Tuition Rewards accepted varies with each school but is generally up to 25% of the cost of tuition.

• Tuition Rewards are redeemable only at the 230+ member schools.* Schools are constantly added to the program, but membership is open on to private, not –for-profit 4 year colleges & universities. State/public colleges (including community colleges) are not eligible to joint Tuition Rewards.*

**State/public colleges generally do not discount tuition and do not awards financial aid (or very limited amounts) that is not based on a determination of "need." An advantage to attending a private college or university versus a state or public college/university is that studies have shown that the likelihood of graduating in 4 years tends to be 2.5 times higher at a private institution.
