So, Verizon’s “student discount” is more of a perks package than a price cut. Think of it like getting free guac at Chipotle instead of a cheaper burrito.
You get stuff like Apple Music, Verizon Cloud, and some other digital goodies. It’s not cash in your pocket, but it’s stuff you’d probably pay for anyway.
And honestly? For the average student who streams music 24/7, that Apple Music subscription alone is worth about $10 a month. Not too shabby, right?
How to Actually Get It
First, you need to be a current college student. High schoolers? Sorry, you’re out of luck. You also need a .edu email address—that little key that unlocks the digital kingdom.
You sign up through Verizon’s website, specifically their student deals page. It takes like five minutes. You’ll verify your student status, and boom—the perks appear.

But here’s the catch: you have to be on a qualifying plan. Usually, that means one of their unlimited plans. If you’re still on a prepaid or a super-basic plan, this might not work.
Also, it’s only for new customers in most cases. If you’ve been with Verizon since your freshman year of high school, you might need to switch things up. Annoying, I know.
