Every penny counts in this economy, especially when you are a student trying to cover the cost of tuition and everyday living expenses. Your education is an investment in the future, but it can start paying off before you even earn your degree or certificate.
                    
                        Being a student makes you eligible for savings from a number of retailers on things ranging from candy to computers to cars. Many will not advertise their student discounts, so be sure to ask wherever you go and always keep your student ID handy. Here is a list of just a few of the discounts available to students:
Amazon:  Student discounts include free Amazon Prime shipping benefits for six months, free two-day shipping on millions of items, and free release-date delivery on video games, DVDs, books, and more.
Academic Superstore: You will find discounts on thousands of top hardware and full-version software, including Adobe, Microsoft, Sony Media Software, Sibelius, and Wacom. 
Apple:  Apple offers special education pricing on Apple computers, software, and select third party products.
Microsoft: Microsoft also offers special discounts and savings for student and educators. 
Having a Student Advantage Discount Card can also save you a lot of money. For just $20.00, students can buy the card and get deep discounts to many retailers and businesses. Here is a list of businesses that have student discounts. Many are only granted with the Student Advantage Discount Card.
