Start with your student status

Ford’s published categories include the groups below. Your school, enrollment and graduation timing determine which verification path to use.

College or trade school students

Full-time or half-time enrollment at an accredited college, university, community college or trade school is a listed qualification. Your school determines your enrollment status.

Graduate students

Students currently enrolled in an accredited graduate school program are a separate qualifying category.

Recent graduates

Ford lists graduates within two years of graduation. The verification process has a separate option for trade school alumni.

Incoming students and other qualifying paths

Some incoming students with admission documentation, interns, apprentices and medical residents may qualify under additional conditions. Review Ford’s current requirements for your situation.

Enrolled less than half-time or taking a standalone course or professional training? Review Ford’s detailed student requirements before assuming eligibility.

From eligibility to a vehicle you can use

  1. Check the offer for your registration ZIP code

    Start on Ford’s College Recognition website. Your available offer and eligible vehicle must be confirmed under the current terms.

  2. Complete the right verification path

    Ford provides Student ID verification through ID.me and a separate Trade School Alumni path. Follow the documentation instructions that match your status and keep the confirmation you receive.

  3. Make your shopping priorities clear

    Think about your commute, parking, passengers and monthly budget. Bring your program confirmation when discussing an eligible new Ford with the Atchinson team.

  4. Review the complete offer

    Ask us to review the chosen vehicle, purchase or lease terms and any compatible incentives together. A recognition reward and credit approval are separate considerations.

Prepare for the conversation

Have your program confirmation available, along with the new Ford models you want to compare. If you still need to verify your status, use Ford’s instructions for the required enrollment or graduation documents.

  • Your current program confirmation, if already verified.
  • A short list of vehicle priorities: commute, cargo, passengers and budget.
  • Questions about eligibility, vehicle availability and the complete purchase or lease terms.
