Member Discount Programs
One way in which we fulfill our role as a trusted broker is through developing corporate discount programs and cooperative ventures for member schools of the Association. In order to assure our members that these programs are of real value, that they are legitimate, and that the companies with whom we are partnering are ethical, we have established an extensive process to review and check out any company with whom we enter into any relationship.
We also conduct periodic reviews of the relationship and service that is provided to schools to ensure that companies are living up to the agreement into which we have entered. Contact our office for any questions about MACS' due diligence process.
Member schools can learn more about the individual corporate partnerships we currently have in place:
