Prime Student
All of Prime, half the price: Recipients of SNAP EBT, Medicaid, or other qualifying government assistance can enjoy the benefits of Prime for $6.99 per month.

Prime offers savings, convenience, and entertainment all in one single membership. Whether you’re looking to get dorm room essentials delivered free, a new show to enjoy with your roommates, or music for late-night study sessions, Prime makes the grade. For students juggling tuition, books, room and board, and more, Amazon created Prime Student, a discounted membership for students enrolled in two- or four-year colleges. And, we made it half the price of our regular Prime membership.

You can sign up for Prime Student on the Prime Student webpage with an .edu email address or a photo of your current student ID, transcript or tuition bill. After a 6-month free trial, Prime Student costs just $7.49 per month or $69 for a full year of membership.

Here’s everything you get with Prime Student beyond the regular Prime membership:
