Frequently asked questions
How do software companies check that I am a student?
Most use a verification service such as SheerID, UNiDAYS or Student Beans, or ask you to sign up with your school email address. A few check a document such as a student ID or enrolment letter. Each deal below says which method the vendor uses.
Is a student discount better than the Black Friday price?
Often it is. Student prices usually apply for a full year and can be renewed while you stay enrolled, while Black Friday prices are one-off. Compare both before you buy: where a tool runs a Black Friday sale, its page shows that deal too.
Can teachers use these offers?
Some of them. Education plans from Adobe, Microsoft and Canva also cover teachers and school staff, while others are limited to enrolled students. The terms of each deal say who qualifies.
