Graduating college is an achievement worth rewarding. 

Our College Graduate Program is designed to help you buy or lease a new Volkswagen. 

Through the Volkswagen College Graduate Program*, qualified recent graduates can get a $500 Contract Bonus** when purchasing or leasing a new, unused Volkswagen vehicle through Volkswagen Credit.

 Program Highlights

  • When you buy or lease through Volkswagen Credit, VW will give you a $500 College Grad Bonus!
  • If you lease, there's no security deposit required.
  • Competitive rates even if you have no credit. Credit history is not required, but if you have existing credit, it must be in good standing.
  • No co-signer required.

You've just finished four years (more or less) of hard work. You deserve to continue your journey in a VW.

Buy your new VW

Make it yours and you won't pay for mileage or excess wear and use. 

Lease your new VW

Leasing may mean you can drive a new VW model more often and possibly make lower monthly payments.
