Did you know that Samsung has a generous student discount program with a whole host of offers available to students and young people? Samsung's Education Offers Program is accessible to anyone in the US who is a full-time student, educator, or anyone with an academic email address (ending in .edu).
For UK students things are a little different, and once you verify with Samsung as a student (or young person aged between 16 and 26), you'll be able to access the Samsung Student & Youth Store for exclusive discounts and savings – see our how to register section for details.
Top discounts for Students right now include $864 off the Samsung Z Fold5, as well as £309 off the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and price cuts on the Galaxy Book4 laptop series too. Samsung's student discount is super easy to claim, and once you're in, you can save up to 30% on Samsung devices, which is exactly how I bagged an amazing discount on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
I'll show you precisely how you can access these generous offers too – whether you're a US or UK student. More of an Apple fan? Take a look at our guide to the top Apple Student Discount deals instead, and explore all of your options with Dell Student Discount offers also available.

Get up to $864 off the Samsung Z Fold5 The top deal from Samsung's Education Program in the US right now is on the Galaxy Z Fold5, with a whopping $864 off the retail price of the 1TB model, bringing the price down from $2,159.99 to $1,295.99. We realise this is still an expensive price for students to pay, but if you have an eligible trade-in device then you can knock off up to $800 extra, making this an absolute steal of a deal.
Save up to $330 instantly on a Galaxy S24 Ultra Samsung launched its latest flagship series of AI smartphones back in February. With the Education Offers Program, you can expect to save a minimum of $260 on the S24 Ultra series, and earn an additional $750 in trade-in credit with an eligible device.
Save up to $700 on a Galaxy S24 Plus handset You can get an instant saving of $100 on the Galaxy S24+ handset with 256GB of storage, or $112 off the 512GB configuration thanks to the Education Offers Program. But that's not all, you can also save up to $600 in trade-in credit with an eligible device.

US students
For US students and teachers, you can become a member of Samsung's Education Offers Program by signing up and registering using a verified school or work email address that ends in .edu, or by using the online identity network company ID.me verification.
ID.me can alternatively be used to verify you with Samsung as a student, educator, faculty, or administrator if you don't have an academic email address. Once registered, you'll then be granted access to the amazing discounts and exclusive offers available to you as part of the Education Offers Program.
Samsung also has its own referral program in the US tied into the Education Offers Program, which means you can get additional points by referring your friends and encouraging other students to register using your unique code.
UK students
For UK students, you'll need to register yourself as a student with Samsung to benefit from extra savings and perks. You can do this via UNiDAYS if you have an account, or by providing Samsung with a valid ac.uk email address.
The good news is that in the UK, you don't even need to be a student to access the Samsung Student & Youth Store, as anyone aged between 16 and 26 is classed as a young person with Samsung, and you simply need to provide a valid form of Photo ID with proof of age instead to qualify.
Samsung Student Discount: Which products are included?

Students can expect to save on pretty much all Samsung and Galaxy devices, including tablets, laptops, monitors and smartphones – and even household appliances like Samsung TVs, refrigerators and dishwashers too. This could be handy for kitting out your uni flat if you're renting unfurnished.
We've also seen some big discounts on Samsung wearable tech, including up to $80 off the Galaxy Watch 6 and $40 off the Galaxy Buds2 exclusively for students.
Keep in mind that Samsung's student discount, while pretty great, might not always offer the lowest prices on a product. For example, during seasonal sales periods such as Amazon Prime day and Black Friday, we often see huge discounts on Samsung tech that even surpasses student offers. So always price-check a product first to ensure you're really getting the best deal.
