Whether online or in person, thousands of students are currently getting back in the swing of things and that means back to schools shopping. While shopping for a Chromebook is a massive undertaking thanks to high demand and short supply, there are still devices to be found and you can save some cash if you shop retailers that offer student and education discounts. This can be a big money saver if you’re in the market for supplies, PC accessories and gear to get you or your student on their way back to the classroom. We’ve rounded up some retailers that offer student and teacher discounts when you verify your affiliation with a qualifying EDU institution.
Best Buy
Best Buy’s student deals program is very well-known and easy to apply for if you have a student email. With the program, students have access to exclusive savings on a wide variety of products including Chromebooks, gear and accessories. The Student Deals page updates frequently and you can score savings year round. The best part? You can use your current Best Buy account and get verified for Student Deals with your EDU email address. Sign up for Best Buy Student Deals at the link below.
Samsung
I wasn’t aware, until recently, that Samsung had a discount program but they do and the savings are huge if you’re a teacher, student, first responders, military and more. Qualifying shoppers can grab as much as 30% off when you shop on Samsung.com. With the current sale on the Galaxy Chromebook, a student discount would save you an extra $119.85 when you buy the ultra-premium 10th Gen Intel convertible and that’s on top of the $200 that Samsung already took off of the MSRP. The 30% savings applies to most products from Samsung and shoppers can also add an additional 10% discount to many sale items. Check out the program below.
