The SAGE Scholars Advisory Council

The SAGE Scholars Advisory Council is a distinguished group of senior leaders and experts from the SAGE Scholars Consortium of private colleges and universities. Established in 1995, the council includes vice presidents of enrollment, directors of financial aid, and influential advocates who provide strategic guidance to enhance SAGE Scholars’ programs and initiatives. Their collective expertise helps ensure that SAGE Scholars remains at the forefront of private college preparation and funding, aligning with the latest trends and addressing challenges in higher education.
