WCC Supporting Academic Goals for Education (SAGE)

SAGE is a Student Support Services TRiO program funded through a federal grant by the U.S. Department of Education, whose purpose is to increase the retention, graduation, and transfer rates of its members. We are funded to offer free academic support services to 175 eligible members. The SAGE staff is committed to advising, guiding, and providing necessary information and resources to assist SAGE members in achieving their academic, career and personal goals.

An eligible member is a full-time WCC student who has a need for academic support and who:

1) is a first generation college student (meaning neither parent has a 4-year degree),

2) qualifies as income-eligible

3) has a documented disability.

The Department of Education established the criteria for membership in SAGE to encourage and assist students who are traditionally under-represented in post-secondary education.
