How does SAGE differ from SIFE?

Some of the main differences are that SAGE:

  • Targets a different audience (SAGE targets high school students)
  • Has a different mission
  • Involves leaders from not only the business community but also the civic and education communities
  • Has different judging criteria, with emphasis on social entrepreneurship, environmental awareness and civic engagement
  • Provides training materials that help referees judge projects using a detailed judging rubric and interpretative guidelines
  • Has a advisory board that isn’t charged a minimum fee to sit on the board
  • Provides sample grant proposal templates in order that each SAGE country can become self-sustaining by developing new public/private partnerships

Encourages high school students to seek out college mentors/ consultants. Whether or not these college students are SIFE students is really irrelevant (although SIFE students make outstanding candidates to be SAGE mentors).
