Graduation Bonuses

What FF programs offer bonus miles for university graduation?

I've done some poking around (searching forums, and checking the wiki) and all that came up was United's College Plus. AA doesn't appear to offer a similar program.

Does anyone know if other programs do? Delta? CO? Other Star Alliance members? Heck, Amtrak?

Just want to start off life in the working world with a step in the right direction for my FF accounts.

At the time I graduated college, the only one I could find was UA.

Graduation Bonus from UA College Plus

To the best of my knolwdge, UA seems to be the only one that gives bonus miles for student flyers. You have to enroll in College Plus (not just Mileage Plus) BEFORE you graduate in order to claim the bonuses.

You can read some disussion on the terms/program from this recent thread:

While it is not bonus miles, you know that southwest gives you 2x rapid rewards for college students until they are 24 (i think). this makes earning reward travel unbelievably easy.

Well, good to know that United turns out to be the only one offering a bonus after all.

Thanks, FT!
