Financing for Schools
Explore your options.
Funding technology continues to be a challenge. Four common options include:
- Bonds — Voter-approved debt that requires consultants and campaigns
- Grants — Strict guidelines force a level of creativity in grant requests
- Cash — Spending what the budget allows, not what is needed
- Financing — Creation of a technology funding plan that allows for what is needed while eliminating prework costs associated with bonds and grants
With Apple Financial Services options you can:
- Increase your purchasing power
- Put more systems in use more quickly
- Minimize the risk of technology obsolesence
- Allow for the whole solution: hardware, software, warranties, infrastructure, installation, and so on
- Potentially deploy new systems annually without payment increases
- Meet the budgetary and IT needs of institutions of all sizes, both public and private
Options for Educational Institutions
- AppleEquity Option — Designed for schools that seek to own the equipment at the end of term. This option retains the benefits of a $1 purchase option lease structure.
- AppleTech Option — Designed for schools that seek to pay for the use of the equipment with the option to purchase the equipment at the end of term. This option is for those with plans never to own the equipment in use. AppleTech is a Fair Market Value (FMV) lease with easy, end-of-term return provisions.
