Adobe products have traditionally been expensive, but student discounts make them much more accessible. This was particularly apparent with Creative Suite CS6 (perpetually licensed version), which cost $999 per individual product and $2,599 upfront for Master Collection suite subscription. Now with Creative Cloud offering even deeper discounts to education customers – up to 70%!
Adobe Student Discount eligibility requirements include being an accredited primary or secondary school, public or private college, university or institution of higher learning (such as community colleges) – homeschoolers must comply with state homeschooling regulations – or having had an subscription from another company that offers similar software or services (i.e. Apple).
Adobe does not officially have a referral program; however, they offer seasonal sales on products and packages such as Adobe Acrobat Pro. To stay informed of these opportunities, subscribe to Adobe’s newsletter which will notify you about promotions, sales, new product releases and tips; this subscription can be cancelled at any time.
