To maintain your discounted Prime for Young Adults membership, you must re-verify your student status annually or monthly, depending on your plan. You can do this by going to "Manage Your Student Membership" or "Manage Your Prime Membership" in your Amazon account and submitting the requested documentation. If you choose not to verify your student status or no longer meet the eligibility criteria, your membership will automatically upgrade to the regular Amazon Prime membership rate.
