Buick Helps Veterans Pursue A College Education

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – During the month of May, Buick is expanding their military discount program in honor of National Military Appreciation Month. For a limited time all military veterans and their spouses can receive the military discount no matter what their separation date was. Additional to the military discount, Buick helps veterans purse a college education with their Buick Achievers Award. Buick has been supporting the U.S. military since WWII, during President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Arsenal of Democracy”. 

The expansion of Buick’s military discount is a small way for Buick to show the appreciation they have for the U.S. Armed Forces. The military discount is usually provided to U.S. military veterans that are within one year of separation, active-duty personnel, reservists, retirees and their spouses. From now until May 31st all veterans, regardless of their separation date, and spouses can receive the discount. The military discount can be combined with current deals and incentives, making it possible for veterans to save thousands of dollars on Buick’s most popular models including Buick LaCrosse, Enclave, and Regal. 

The automaker not only helps veterans in purchasing a new vehicle, but Buick helps veterans pursue a college education. The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program helps students pursue their undergraduate degrees in an engineering or technology field. The Buick Achievers program has awarded more than $28 million to over 3,400 students. Veterans like William Smith (in featured photo) used the Buick Achievers program to further their involvement with the U.S. military and help tutor veterans in multiple STEM programs.
