Some of the best streaming services like Hulu, HBO Max and Prime Video offer generous student discounts that can knock up to 75% off the price of a full subscription. Snagging these deals will not only allow you to stream all your favorite TV shows, movies and music while on campus, but you'll also save an extra couple bucks each month, which certainly adds up.
One of the best student discounts on streaming services comes courtesy of Amazon. The e-comm giant offers a free 6-month Amazon Prime trial if you're a student. It includes all of the perks of a regular Prime membership such as same-day/one-day delivery, free Grubhub+ membership, access to Prime Video, and more. After your trial period is up, you can cancel or opt to pay $7.49/month or $69/year. That's 50% off a traditional Prime membership.

What to know about student discounts on streaming services
- Eligibility: Practically all streaming services will require that you prove your eligibility before you can sign up for their student services. A lot of times, you'll need to verify your student eligibility via a third party service such as SheerID. These services require that you enroll in an accredited, Title IV higher education institution (college or university).
- Duration: Some services require that you verify your student eligibility every 12 months. Other student plans will last for a duration of four years only.
- Beware of add-ons: All student discounts on streaming services offer generous savings. However, be careful of adding on too many discounted services to your student plan. Amazon Prime Student, for instance, lets you add Prime Video channels for $1/month.
