Better Savings & Funding

  • Comparing 529 & Other tax-favored savings plans
  • Building scholarship credits
  • Tax favored savings not exclusively for college.
  • Reading A. - G., & Advanced College Planning will help you:
    • Prepare better, academically, to get your money’s worth in college.
    • Increase motivation to see your savings plan through to the end.
    • Leverage savings with Financial Aid & grant/scholarship planning.
  • Will your money go as far with a private college?

If a family saves for college using a Sage Scholar affiliate life ins. the company, 5500 scholarship points are earned upon issuance of their plan, then 2000 points each year the plan is in force.


Note that if students apply to colleges that are not Sage Scholar members, the track record of accumulating money and scholarship credits demonstrates the commitment of the student and family for college and should impress any college enrollment officer. Please contact us in order to consult with a representative or agent for complete details covering the above strategies.


** No strategy for college savings is an optimal fit for everyone, but examples of third party discussions about return on life insurance come from these WALL STREET JOURNAL articles as an example:

Are "Higher-Tuition" Private Colleges As Good A Value As "Lower Cost" State Universities? ( for the full 5-page research report).

Cost Comparison Example: Public vs. Private College

Quality Differences Between Public And Private Colleges Could Also Be Considered:

  • Surveys of graduates show that a lot more students at private colleges receive closer mentorship from professors or counselors.
  • Some private colleges are national leaders in offering a conservative, serious learning environment as opposed to being a “party” school.
  • On average, you are 61% more likely to graduate from private colleges.
  • One caveat: Some of the best large universities are top-rated as were major employers like to hire graduates. So check to see if your private college has a high placement rate for graduates in your major and what you have to do to build your resume to be like those who tend to get the good job offer

Building scholarship credits

Some colleges stand out by especially recognizing your year by year saving, as it is exemplary of the discipline needed to be successful in college. This particularly applies to students earning and saving some money along with parents, e.g., with summer work which can even include building your academic knowledge at the same time!
