Are you a TV or movie lover heading off to college in a few weeks?
We have something we think you might want to hear.
Did you know that many streaming services offer discounted plans to students, as long as they can verify enrollment?
If you didn’t, you do now!
No matter what you like to stream — movies, comedies, live sports, reality shows — you’ll find a service with a student discount full of all the content you love.
We’ve made it easier than ever for you to find those discounts, too, so read on for six of the best student streaming discounts.
| Service | Regular Monthly Price | Monthly Price With Student Discount | Free Trial? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Prime Video | $14.99 | $7.49 | 6 months |
| Peacock | $12.99 | $5.99 | No |
| Apple TV+/Apple Music | $20.98 | $6.99 | 1 Month |
| Hulu | $10.99 | $1.99 | No |
| Paramount+ | $8.99 | $4.50 | 7 Days |
| HBO Max | $10.99 | $5.49 | No |
Amazon Prime/Prime Video
After a six-month free trial, Prime for Young Adults costs just $7.49/month — a 50% discount off the regular monthly price. It includes everything you get from a regular Amazon Prime subscription, too, like free one-or-two-day shipping, Amazon Music Prime, a Grubhub+ membership, and, of course, Prime Video.
Prime for Young Adults is available for up to six years, from age 18-24 regardless of your student status.
Peacock
For just $5.99/month, students can take advantage of all that Peacock has to offer. The ad-supported plan normally costs $12.99/month. To get the deal, simply verify your student status and then make a Peacock account with the promo code you’re given. You’ll get to watch everything on Peacock, like next-day NBC and Bravo episodes and live sports including Sunday Night Football, Big 10 College Football and English Premier League soccer.
Peacock’s student discount is only available for 12 months.
Apple Music/Apple TV+
The Apple TV+ student discount actually falls under the Apple Music Student Plan. For $6.99/month after a one-month free trial, you’ll get access to everything included in the Apple Music Individual Plan (including lossless and spatial audio and offline downloads) and everything on Apple TV+.
Student verification is required, and the discounted rate is available for 48 months (four years).
Hulu
For just $1.99/month, eligible college students can get Hulu (With Ads), down from $10.99/month. With Hulu, you can stream all of the streamer’s original movies and shows, plus movies from 20th Century, Searchlight, NEON and more studios, plus new episodes of TV shows from ABC, FX, FOX, and more the day after they air.
This offer price is good as long as you can prove that you’re an enrolled college student at a Title IV accredited college or university.
Paramount+
Paramount+ offers 50% off every month of either one of their plan to students enrolled at eligible accredited colleges and universities. That brings the Essential $8.99/month price down to $4.50/month for access to more than 40,000 episodes and movies, live sports including NFL on CBS, UFC and exclusive originals.
For live local CBS and even more content, you can get Paramount+ Premium for $6.99/month, down from $13.99/month.
The student discount plan is good for four years, even if you graduate in less than four years.
HBO Max
For all things HBO, Discovery, A24, and more, you need HBO Max. Luckily, students who can verify enrollment in an accredited US college or university will get 50% off the HBO Max with Ads plan for 12 months at a time. Instead of $10.99/month, students will pay just $5.49/month and can re-verify every year to renew the discount.
