WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN APPLE STUDENT DISCOUNT?
01. Further or higher education students
If you’re 16 or older and are enrolled in further or higher education (like college or university) and you have a valid student ID, then you’re eligible for the Apple student discount – yep, it’s seriously that simple. As soon as you enrol at your sixth form, college or university, you can sign up to get the discount.
02. Parents of students
Apple was even kind enough to extend the Apple student discount to the parents of those students who are eligible for the deal. That means you can save money when buying an Apple product for your child. Remember though, you can’t also get the deal if you’re purchasing a device for yourself.
03. People working in education
If you’ve got this far and you’re not a student or a parent, but you work in education then you’re in luck. Any member of staff that work at colleges, sixth forms or universities (public or private) is also able to sign up for the discount. To claim your Apple student discount, you’ll have to provide some documents that prove where you work. Even those of you working for the PTA or PTO can get on board.
HOW TO GET AN APPLE STUDENT DISCOUNT
We know it’s hard to believe, but you don’t have to be a student to get a discount. The Apple student discounts are available for pretty much anyone in the education industry, like teachers, education workers, parents, school board members and PTA members. All you have to do is visit the Apple Store for Education and then verify your credentials – how easy is that?
However, how you actually get your discount varies depending on where you are located. In the USA, just head over to the US Apple Store for Education(opens in new tab) (ideally use your university network for this part), and follow the steps to choose your items. It might also be helpful to have your proof of eligibility to hand when signing up. You might not need your proof, but it’s good to have it just in case.
Over in the UK, it’s (unfortunately) not as simple. To get your student discount, head over to the UK Apple Store for Education(opens in new tab) where you can sign up online via the student discount website Unidays(opens in new tab). Unidays is free, but you will need to provide some details about your course and university, to make sure your account gets verified.
Sounding like it’s all a bit too much? Don’t worry, if you call Apple, chat online or in-store with a member of the Apple staff, then they might be able to help you out.
WHAT PRODUCTS DOES THE DISCOUNT APPLY TO?
If you’re looking for a Mac, then the Apple Student Discount applies to the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (13-inch), MacBook Pro (16-inch), iMac and iMac Pro, as well as the Mac Pro and the Mac mini. Meanwhile, if you’re on the hunt for iPad, you’ll find an Apple Student discount on the iPad Pro and iPad Air, as well as the iPad and the iPad mini.
The big news right now is that you can get an Apple student discount on select Mac computers (iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini) and iPads (iPad Air and iPad Pro). You can save up to $200 / £280 on a Mac and up to $100 / £80 on an iPad.
The other big Apple student discount at the moment is on Apple Music. This one’s a bit simpler: a straightforward 50 per cent off, which means you pay $4.99 / £4.99 per month rather than the normal $9.99 / £9.99 per month for up to 48 months.
