Troxell, Hitachi Launch Audiovisual Rebate Program

Troxell Communications has partnered with the Digital Media Division of Hitachi America Ltd. to introduce a groundbreaking Education Scholarship/Grant Rebate Program which provides monetary rebates to educational organizations that choose to purchase audiovisual equipment from a comprehensive list of products made eligible for the program by various participating manufacturers. The program is intended to help supplement strained district budgets with monetary contributions by providing assistance to schools and school programs designed to foster student growth and development.

Unlike other programs that offer discounts to educators on a select group of products, this new program returns actual dollars to schools' general funds at the direction of district administrators. Educators can use the funds for school programs, books, supplies and equipment, fuel and transportation costs — any purpose deemed appropriate by the district. In addition, Troxell handles all rebate program administration, which allows participants to see their individual results in real time on the Web site. For more information log on to www.trox.com.
