Q: Can you tell me about the Silver Sneakers Tuition Rewards Program? A:
If you are a SilverSneakers member and have children, grandchildren or other close family members who aspire to go to a private university or college, here is your opportunity to help them. SilverSneakers and Sage Scholars have teamed up to offer SilverSneakers members who work out regularly a unique opportunity to earn thousands of dollars in free tuition credits at participating private colleges and universities.
It’s easy. And It’s free.
You begin by going to https:// silversneakers.tuitionrewards. com/ to enroll in the program. When you enroll, you will be asked to register your children, grandchildren, or other students in your extended family who you wish to be beneficiaries of your Tuition Rewards Points. Students between birth and August 31st prior to their senior year of high school are eligible.
When you register, you will receive 1,000 Tuition Rewards Points just for signing up for a Tuition Rewards account. Each point is worth $1 in tuition rewards so you will receive a guaranteed minimum in tuition savings of at least $1,000 through the program.
For every month you visit a SilverSneakers participating location seven times or more, Silver Sneakers will add 250 points to your account. That means you get an addition of $250 in tuition savings just for working out.
The accumulated points represent the minimum scholarship (grant or another institutional discount) that the student will receive. Each Tuition Rewards scholarship can equal up to one full year’s tuition.
More than 450 private colleges and universities across America participate in the program. You can find a list of participating colleges and universities at https://www.tuitionrewards.com/ schools. For complete details on this program, information on eligible family members, regulations and how much you can earn for each student, visit their website at https://silversneakers. tuitionrewards.com
Original Medicare does not cover membership in SilverSneakers, but some Medicare Advantage plans and Medigap plans do. If you are not sure if you are eligible for a SilverSneakers membership, please contact your insurance provider or SilverSneakers at 877-871-7020 or www.silversneakers.com. Always check with your doctor before starting any workout program.
