To demonstrate its appreciation for our contributions as a selected university, Ford Motor Company is offering all of our employees and their spouses the opportunity to participate in a discount program called Partner Recognition. The program offers you the ability to purchase or lease eligible vehicles at Ford Motor Company’s X-Plan price. (Mazda vehicles are available at S-Plan pricing). That can mean saving hundreds, even thousands of dollars on brand new Ford Motor Company vehicles.

Which vehicles are eligible?

Whether you decide to purchase or lease, Partner Recognition pricing is available on virtually all new Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. Certain vehicles may be excluded. For more information, visit the Partner Recognition website (http://www.fordpartner.com/).
