Apple devices, from the latest M2 MacBooks to the iPad Pro, are perfect tools for a student to complete assignments and studies. However, with education being expensive, it’s not possible for every student to afford premium Apple products.

The cheapest MacBook Air ranges from $999, while the iPad Mini with Apple Pencil and Smart Folio starts at $837, which could be pricey for students. Thus, Apple has introduced a discount for students who require a MacBook or iPad for school work but can’t afford it.

As is evident from the name of the campaign, the Student Discount is intended for students pursuing their education. However, not all students can benefit from this discount offered by Apple.

According to the Student Discount page on the official website, the offer is “available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.” As is evident from the statement, the discount is only available to college students.

If you are still attending school or high school, the student discount may be out of reach for you. In such a case, you can either ask your school to make the purchase or wait to join college.
