SAGE Scholars Program

The mission of the SAGE Scholars program is to strengthen the pipeline of talented and diverse students entering the workforce by supporting them in their undergraduate careers and providing them with the tools and training needed to excel in the workforce. 

The program provides undergraduates who have significant financial need with career and graduate school planning, leadership training, mentoring, growth mindset and resilience training, community service engagement, and access to internship and scholarship opportunities. Scholars selected for the program have high aspirations and a remarkable potential to contribute to a vibrant, diverse workforce. 


Your gift today to SAGE Scholars will fund: 

  • Scholarships and emergency grants 
  • Resume and interview preparation 
  • Mentorship and one-on-one counseling 
  • Networking opportunities 
  • Internships 
  • Leadership workshops 

As of the 2021-22 School year, the SAGE Scholars program has graduated over 600 alumni who have gone on to work for prestigious globally recognized companies including Apple, Boeing Google, and more. Your investment in SAGE is an investment in the next generation of innovators and leaders in the workforce.

A gift of any amount will make a difference. Thank you in advance for your support!
