The Sage Scholarship Program: A world class start for your child, made easier for your family.

The Sage Scholarship Program is an exclusive opportunity designed to ease your child's transition into early education by providing both financial relief and a premium learning experience.

Receive significant financial relief

We make the "big step" of starting at a new centre easier by removing the financial burden, allowing you to focus on your child's happiness and development.

Access a world class learning experience

This scholarship isn't just about savings; it's your child's ticket to a premium, world class education designed specifically for children under 4.

Win an exclusive, age specific opportunity

This isn't a one-size-fits-all lottery. We are selecting one winning family from each age group (up to age four), dramatically increasing your chances to secure a scholarship for your child.
