Apple provides a special preferential activity for college students who are studying and newly admitted, as well as teachers and staff at all levels. Users who meet the educational preferential conditions can buy products and services at preferential prices in Apple's "Shopping for Teachers and Students in Colleges and Universities" area.

The education discount has product restrictions, and only computer equipment can be purchased, including but not limited to Mac and Mac Pro desktops, MacBook laptops and iPad tablets. Apple regards computer equipment as an indispensable productivity tool and an indispensable learning tool, which is also the fundamental reason why Apple gives this discount. Products such as iPhone are not included in the education discount. After all, iPhone is not a productivity and learning tool, but a basic communication tool.

It should be noted that there is a limit to the number of products that each user can purchase with the education discount every year, and only two desktops, notebooks, iPad, monitors and a Mac mini can be purchased at most.

Apple Education Preferential Applicable Groups

Apple's preferential education policy is aimed at college students and teachers, so buyers will naturally be qualified and given specific definitions of college students and teachers.

college student

First of all, the concept of college students defined by Apple is occupation, college students and prospective college students who receive admission notices. As a student, you will receive an email from Apple after purchasing the corresponding products online at a preferential price in the Apple Education Store. It is necessary to send materials to prove the identity of students within the specified time, usually scanned copies or pictures of the cover of student ID card, the inside page of information and the registration page.

In addition, if the information is incomplete or the authenticity is in doubt, Apple may further request more information. In addition, parents can also buy on their behalf by providing student information.

teacher

The concept of teacher identity is broader than that of college students. According to Apple's sales terms, teachers are defined as any employees of kindergartens, junior high schools, universities, technical colleges, vocational colleges and universities, which means that in addition to teachers, school employees are also included. Interestingly, however, primary schools are not included, but from a practical point of view, primary school teachers can actually use this educational discount.

In certification, teachers can provide one of work permit (non-teacher qualification certificate), employment permit and work letter, and the other steps are basically the same as those of students.
