Ford Graduate Program, a discount for students buying a Ford

If you’ve recently graduated or are about to graduate, the Ford Graduate Program can help you qualify for credit and get into a new Ford vehicle, even if you don’t have previous vehicle-buying experience. This program is built to help students transition into the workforce with confidence. 

Eligibility for the Graduate Program 

You may qualify if you: 

  • Are over 18 years old 
  • Have graduated (or will graduate within 4 months) from a Canadian accredited university undergraduate degree program, a two-year college program, a three-year CEGEP D.E.C. program in Quebec, or a recognized military or police academy 
  • Are a full-time post-graduate student who has graduated from a Canadian accredited university with a Master’s, Doctorate, or PhD within the last 24 months 
  • Are currently a full-time student who will graduate from a Canadian accredited university with a Master’s, Doctorate, or PhD within the next 24 months 
  • Can provide a current paystub or proof of future employment offer during the credit application process 

If you don’t meet the requirements for the Graduate Program, you may still qualify for the Ford First-Time Buyer Program, designed to help new buyers start their journey with flexible options.
