Many schools throughout the United
States are now providing technology
payroll deduction programs for their
employees. Apple’s Educator Advantage
program can assist you in helping your
teachers purchase Apple computers

Support technology use
by your educators
Apple can help you implement a
payroll deduction program that allows you
to put technology into the hands of those
who impact the classroom directly:
Educators.
Your district develops the financing
plan, possibly with a local bank or a
teachers’ credit union, and your Educator
Advantage representative can help your
school purchase direct from Apple. Apple
Computer will bill your district directly,
providing 30-day terms*.
Apple helps implement
If the district offers educator training,
Apple can facilitate the logistics by
shipping all computers directly to the
school address**. Otherwise, Apple will
ship individual computers to each
educator’s home address. The funding
agency or school district and each
educator will receive an invoice for
warranty purposes.
Great value

offers the Macintosh Performa line of
computers with the addition of the
valuable Educator Advantage solution on

What other educators say about Institutional Financing
Linda Olson
Coordinator of Staff Development
Garfield School District RE-2
Rifle, Colorado
"We have many employees who
could never have purchased a Macintosh
for their home without this program.
As a result of having computers at
home, we've seen technology become
more effectively integrated into our
classrooms on a daily basis. The teachers
are now more confident in their ability to
use the Macintosh for instructional use.
We have had an increase in enroll-
ment for our staff development classes on
technology. Apple provided our district
with great advice as we developed a
payroll deduction program that was right
for us.
We consider it a great success; it went
so smooth and easy. Our employees are
very pleased! We're already getting
requests for the next purchase program
from employees who did not participate
the first time."
Ken Reed
Director of Technology and Enrichment
Caldwell School District
Caldwell, Idaho
"The Institutional Finance Option
steps were outlined clearly and explained
well to me. The program structure was set
up well and was easy to follow.
The teachers are excited about
computers at home to complete projects
they’re working on and to develop their
computer skills.
We will be conducting a district-wide
survey to assess competency and interest
levels in offering training to our teachers,
as well.
About 60% of those teachers who
purchased a Macintosh through the
Educator Advantage Institutional Finance
Option were first-time buyers.”
