Who can get an Apple student discount?

Have we informed you of the extent to which you can save, the issue at hand is whether saving at all is likely in your case. Fall under any of Apple’s student discounts? In case you are not a student in order to buy items at Apple Education Stores at lower prices, you must be an employee of an educational institution.

You cannot discount on the particular Mac that you feel like buying for your thirteen year old boy. However, if you serve as a teacher at the school or you are a parent who teaches children at home they offer cuts to their staff and parents respectively, hence making it less costly than it can be for other people. High school students do not get this reduced rate on thier items like other groups do so there has always been controversy around such issues.

Three categories of individuals are eligible for a student discount:

  • Students enrolled in higher education institutions (such as universities or colleges).
  • Individuals purchasing on behalf of educational institutions.
  • Parents of higher education students making purchases for them.
  • Educators working from home.

How many products you can buy?

  • Desktop Mac: One may be purchased per year
  • Laptop Mac: One may be purchased per year
  • iPad: Two may be purchased per year
  • Accessories: Two accessories with Education Pricing may be purchased per year
