Student discount qualifications in Apple stores

The Apple Educators Store qualifications vary by region. I believe in the US, you must be a currently enrolled student or faculty at a recognized higher education institution, and alongside show your valid education institution ID as proof. It may be good to call your Apple Store to double check your qualifications though.

Student Discount programmes from Apple, where available, require that eligible students are enrolled in a recognised higher education programme within the country of purchase.

In most countries, the key to accessing Apple’s Educational Discount programme is being registered with UNiDAYS.
