Program Details

We know tuition and books are expensive. That’s why Ford developed the College Student Purchase Program.
Driveu
Current college students and recent graduates may be eligible for $500 Bonus Cash1 toward the purchase or lease of an eligible new 2018/2019/2020 Ford vehicle.
In addition, qualified college students may be eligible to receive “Top Tier Credit Approval” when purchasing or leasing through Ford Credit! Yes, that’s correct! You will receive the same interest rates as people that have top credit ratings, in some cases that can mean 0% APR financing2 on a new Ford!
