TUITION, LOANS and FINANCIAL AID

Tuition:
You can afford to go to truck driving school, and the cost is reasonable. Paying for truck driving school with SAGE’s assistance can be easier than you think. Tuition varies by location and program, but we have several alternatives that can assist you. Please contact us to see which method (or combination of methods) is right for you.

We suggest you visit our list of schools to determine which location is best for you.  Once you have determined that, please contact the school to discuss your qualifications and how this opportunity can best serve you. A School staff member will interview applicants for admission through a personal interview or, for those who cannot visit the School in person, a telephone interview.

Loans:
SAGE has established relationships with credible lenders, such as Climb Credit that specialize in truck driving school loans. SAGE has earned the Acclaim Climb Verification Badge for delivering education that gets students careers at an affordable price. Climb verifies programs with a track record of getting students results in the form of graduation, job placement, and salary increases after graduation.

Financial Aid:
Workforce Training Funding, State and Local Grants, Scholarships, Vocational Rehabilitation Programs, Veterans Funding, Trucking Company Tuition Assistance and/or Reimbursement, Non Profit Foundation Funding.  These are some of the options available to help pay for your training, but they vary from school to school. This is why we strongly recommend contacting the school of your choice, so they can better help you find the right plan for you.

Scholarship Opportunities:
Howes is pleased to offer $1,000 Scholarships towards the tuition costs of attending selected SAGE Truck Driving Schools.

Careers in Gear has been dedicated to helping truck drivers get jobs since 2006. CIG is happy to announce they are helping future and current truckers afford tuition expenses with their Scholarship in Gear program.  To apply, visit their website here.

To find out more about all options available to you, we again, recommend contacting the school of your choice and working with them directly.  Applications can be completed online, however we highly encourage you to visit the school.  Again, we want to stress that our goal is to help you find the right answer for you.  This is best accomplished in a personal interview.

Staff members make every effort to provide a realistic understanding of the nature of the trucking industry so the applicants can make intelligent training and career choices in light of their aptitudes and interests. Students are expected to make a reasonable independent judgment as to whether trucking is right for them.
