What is Amazon Prime Student?

Amazon Prime Student is a membership program created for higher education students. It offers a six-month trial that includes all the benefits of Amazon Prime at a discounted rate.

The membership includes fast, free delivery on millions of items, unlimited streaming of thousands of movies and shows, access to premium channels, Amazon Music Prime, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Photos, Prime Gaming, and ultrafast grocery delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market (in select cities).

After the trial period, Prime Student members can continue their membership at a discounted rate of $7.49 per month or $69 per year. This discounted rate is available to students for up to four years or until the end of their studies, whichever comes first. At that point, the membership will convert to a regular Prime membership at the standard annual fee.

In addition to the benefits mentioned, Prime Student members also get exclusive deals and offers, such as an additional 10% discount on flights booked through StudentUniverse Travel and a $120 annual savings on Grubhub+ membership.

Who is eligible for Amazon Prime Student?

To be eligible for Amazon Prime Student, you must be an actively enrolled student at a college or university. This includes both part-time and full-time students. Your school must be located in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. Internationally, Amazon Prime Student is available in the UK and several other regions.

You will need to provide proof of your student status. This can be done in several ways, including submitting an enrolment form, using your .edu email address, or providing documentation such as a student ID, transcript, tuition bill, or acceptance letter.

If you are a non-student young adult (18-24 years old), you can also join Amazon Prime Student through age verification. In this case, you will need to provide proof of age, such as a passport, driver's license, or identity card. After your trial, you will be eligible for a discount on Amazon Prime.
