Help Loved Ones with College Tuition

As a SilverSneakers® member, you know more visits add up to better health. Now those visits can also add up to college savings for designated students, thanks to the SilverSneakers® partnership with SAGE Scholars.  How does it work?

  • Sign up for tuition rewards HERE.
  • Log a minimum of seven visits per month to the Shaw JCC to accumulate Tuition Rewards® Points for savings on college tuition for students that you designate (from birth to the beginning of their junior year of high school).
  • You’ll earn 1,000 Tuition Rewards Points when you sign up for the program. Then each subsequent month you can earn 250 points, just by visiting a location a minimum of seven times that month. Each point equals $1.00 in tuition discounts. That's $250 in tuition savings each month, just for working out.
