4 streaming services that offer a student discount

There aren’t a lot of college students who are flush with cash. But that doesn’t change the fact that everybody needs to take a break from the books once in a while. Luckily, streaming services like Spotify, Amazon and more offer student discounts to people enrolled in a college or university.

These movie, TV and music services offer student pricing

Amazon Prime

Signing up for Amazon Prime Student will get you a six-month trial courtesy of Sprint, for new members only.

Price: When the trial runs out, Prime Student is just $6.49/month. Cancel anytime.

Apple Music

The streaming service is offering the first three months free as part of a trial.

Spotify Premium + Hulu

The music streaming service offers students Spotify Premium, which comes with Hulu Limited Commercials (regularly $7.99). Restrictions are that you must pay for your Spotify subscription directly to them and not through a third party. Additionally, you must be a new or returning Hulu subscriber.
