SAGE empowers young Guyanese to contribute positively and effectively to their country by increasing their access to post-secondary education. SAGE fosters the development of Guyana through access to education and student empowerment. SAGE believe that change occurs when young people with drive and talent have opportunities to develop the skills needed to turn their passion into action. SAGE identifies students with a commitment to their country, high academic promise, and limited financial means, and provides these students with scholarships while encouraging scholarship recipients to work within Guyana for several years after graduating.
