No matter if you’re starting college, going back to school or are continuing your education, some streaming services offer discounted prices on their subscription packages for students, so you can content such as Shōgun and Palm Royale without having to snag someone else’s password.

Do Any Streaming Services Have a Student Discount?

You can take advantage of slashed subscription prices on streaming platforms including Hulu, Peacock and Prime Video. As an added bonus, most of the streaming service deals for students come with a free trial beforehand, allowing you to save money before committing to the service. After your free trial ends, you’ll usually be charged a reduced, student-only rate.

To snag even deeper discounts, some streaming services offer bundle options, giving you reduced rates to premium and ad-free versions of their platform.

It’s easy to qualify, too — all you need is a school email that ends in “.edu” to verify your student status, then you can stream all you want.
