Graduating from college is a momentous occasion. It marks your entry into the “real world” and is one of the first achievements you’ll accomplish as an adult. Another big feat that demonstrates responsibility and accomplishment is financing your first car. As a recent grad, this task can feel daunting as you begin to budget automotive expenses along with other bills that can easily stack up.
Hicks Family Subaru offers a special financial program for recent and upcoming graduates to assist with financing a new Subaru vehicle and making a smart investment for your future. Read on to learn more about the Subaru College Graduate Program and how to make your first post-grad car purchase count.
Subaru’s College Graduate Program is a helpful incentive intended for recent and soon-to-be college graduates looking to own a Subaru. This program allows qualified applicants to finance or lease a new Subaru vehicle through Subaru Motors Finance (SMF), even if they have limited credit history. It’s designed to make the car-buying process more accessible during an important transition, helping graduates like you move forward with confidence.
The first step toward participating in Subaru’s car buying college grad program is understanding whether you qualify as an eligible applicant.
To qualify, applicants must either apply for the program within six months of their anticipated graduation date or within the following 24 months thereafter. They must be graduating with either an associate, bachelor’s, graduate, or doctoral degree from an accredited university, graduate school, or nursing school.
For upcoming graduates, applicants can submit a letter from their registrar’s office or a copy of their final transcript to verify degree completion, which should confirm the degree type and expected graduation date. For recent graduates, a copy of their diploma is sufficient to prove they have earned a degree.
As with nearly all application processes, college grads must verify their employment and income to qualify for the College Graduate Program. If you haven’t started your first post-grad job, no need to worry. You can submit a letter from your future employer to show that you will start work within 90 days of your graduation date, along with your expected wage. A verbal verification from your current or future employer is also required to complete the employment verification process.
If you plan to apply jointly for the College Graduate Program, your co-signer must meet all the incentive’s eligibility criteria.
The Subaru College Graduate Program can be extremely helpful for young adults making the transition into financially supporting themselves for the first time. Here are some additional benefits it can offer you.
Young adults with a limited credit history often face challenges in securing affordable financing for a new vehicle. The College Graduate Program enables new graduates to establish credit while gaining access to financing options they may not have otherwise had. This early step can help set the foundation for a stronger financial future.
When you qualify for the College Graduate Program, you are also eligible for any other leasing or retail promotions offered by Hicks Family Subaru. Subaru college discounts can be extremely helpful as you navigate the post-grad transition.
All new Subaru models are available to lease through this incentive program, allowing recent graduates to find what they’re looking for at a great deal. Whether you have your eye set on a Crosstrek, Outback, Forrester, or other leading model, you’ll have access to a wide range of options designed to support your next step after graduation.
Your first step into Subaru ownership through the College Graduate Program can lead to a lifetime of driving Subaru vehicles. Subarus are renowned for their reliability and value, which drivers can count on for years to come. A Subaru can provide the long-term dependability young adults deserve as they trek into the next chapter of their lives.
Get started on finding the Subaru and financing option that best suits you by following these simple steps.
Determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements listed above, and whether your credit history and current finances make you a good candidate for financing.
Beyond the standard documents required for vehicle financing, applicants must also provide proof of their upcoming graduation date or diploma.
