Discounts for Veterans and Military Students

These student discounts are NOT exclusive to veterans or the military necessarily.  They ARE a big help to those serving or have served who are attending school and trying to save money.

Service members, veterans, and military spouses can receive military discounts at different places in your city or community. However, not everyone has a military discount. If you are a student too, that opens you up to finding student discounts.

List of Student Discounts

You probably don’t have much extra money when you go to college. And even if you do, finding good discounts is essential.

There are quite a few discounts for college students that can help you save money while attending school. While you can get military discounts if you serve or are in a military family, these discounts for college students can help you save even more.

Here is a list of many of the best student discounts you can use that may or may have a military discount available.

Amazon Prime Student Discount

Amazon offers Amazon Prime Student, which is a useful subscription to have.

You will receive a six-month trial with free two-day shipping, unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows, prime music, and unlimited photo storage.

After your six-month trial, you will be able to receive a discount on your Amazon Prime which would be $6.49 a month or $59 a year.

After you graduate from college or after you hit the end of your fourth year of your Prime Student Membership, whatever comes first, you will change to a regular Amazon Prime account, which will be $139 a year as of this fall.

There currently isn’t an Amazon Prime military discount, so this is your only option as a Student Veteran.
