How does the apple educator discount work? Anyone know? Looks like I qualify...Woo Hoo! Can I order online? What do I need to show proof of eligibility? What is the discount?
Thanks!
 
They used to give military 10% off but the last time I went to the apple store they did away with it:sad2:
 
I'm not sure about how to get the discount on-line. I know when we got my daughter her MacBook for college, they first checked to see if the school she was attending was a "participating school" (I guess not all schools are?) and she also had to present her acceptance letter to prove qualification.

I know she gets an education discount at a specific site that sells software and computer accessories. For that, we had to e-mail a scan of her school ID to prove eligibility before the order would be processed.
 
Go to the Apple store on line and near the bottom is a spot to go to the "education store". Anyone in school or who teaches at a school can get the discount. Then order what you need and it will tell you what proof they need. You do have to tell them what school you are a teacher/student at now. My husband is govt so he orders through that so I'm not exactly sure what Apple asks for as far as proof from educators/students.

If you go in person, be prepared with your id. They will ask for it.

When I bought at the local Apple store last summer, they were very flexible about the identification needed. I think I showed them a hard copy of my acceptance and went online to shown them my course list. I didn't have an actual ID because the community college charges $10 extra for it! -- Suzanne

That's what I would think they would accept as id. For my husband he has credentials to show so it's a picture id.
 
I've ordered online from the Apple education store - I qualify as "PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed officers are eligible". They did not ask for any proof that I remember, possibly what my PTO title was.
 
We called the Apple Store when we bought our MacBook and bought directly from them. I don't remember what our discount was, but we didn't have to show proof of employment.
 
A fellow educator who just bought a Mac for our house. Don't forget to look at any other job titles in the house. DH works for a national corporation. He got a 6% discount which turned out to be better than the educator discount. At the Apple store, he just had to show his work ID.
 
Heads up! One of my co-workers discovered today that Apple has discontinued the educator's discount for all ipods.
