Microsoft is one of the world’s premier tech companies, yet their hardware and software can be expensive. Students, teachers and faculty members now have an opportunity to save by taking advantage of special discounts available through the Microsoft Education Store – simply login using your school/work email address here – which provide exclusive offers that apply both hardware and software products. When picking up orders online be sure to bring along proof of student identity such as an ID.
No matter your tech needs – be they laptop, tablet, headphones or accessories – the Microsoft Store should always be your first stop. Not only are their prices highly competitive, but you could also save even more with coupons or discount codes on accessories such as keyboards and earbuds – not forgetting Xbox consoles with special offers that appear regularly throughout the year!
Verifying your student status requires showing a valid ID card at any physical Microsoft Store, or via their dedicated page online (US and UK customers only). Once verified, the discount applies to software as well as gaming products if their retail price falls within 10% of 10% off the total retail price; this offer applies exclusively for K-12 and higher education students as well as teachers, parents, staff and administrators; it does not apply to businesses or enterprise purchasers.
Students can find discounts at several other companies as well, particularly at the beginning of term when many run back-to-school sales. Some examples are The Container Store with their Organized Teacher Discount Program, Barnes & Noble with Teacher Appreciation Days offering 20% discounts, Blue Harbor Resort using promo code THANKYOU and Hancock Fabrics/Carson Dellosa offering student discounts.
