Besides furthering your learning, getting an education comes with perks — including access to many bundles and discounts. 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. Instead of having to snag someone else’s password, you can score major discounts on streaming platforms that’ll get you access to streamer-exclusive content such as Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building and Disney+’s Agatha All Along.

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.
