Services like Peacock and Amazon Music Unlimited provide discounts for students who qualify, and students may be eligible for bundles of multiple services, such as the combo Spotify and Hulu or Apple Music and Apple TV Plus. While offers for eligible high schoolers are out there, post-high school students appear to have the most opportunities to score.

If you plan to stream during the school year, see if you qualify for one of these deals.

You can add two popular streaming choices to your roster for just $6 a month with Spotify’s Premium Student offer. The deal combines Spotify Premium and Hulu’s ad-supported plan, which normally cost $11 and $8 a month, respectively. You need to be a student above the age of 18 who is “enrolled at a US Title IV accredited college or university” to qualify, and Spotify works with a third party called SheerID to verify that you’re eligible. 

You will need to verify eligibility every 12 months, with the offer available for a total of four years. In addition, new Spotify Premium subscribers may qualify for a free month. Full details can be found at Spotify’s site.
