Stay In School: The Adobe Student Discount

20 May

The Student Discount You've Been Waiting For Is Here! Find Out How Students Can Save On Adobe Design Software Downloads Here.

Adobe is the leading name in design software and is used in some capacity by most of the graphic design industries. While the cost of Adobe software has been discussed around the world, it is one of the only brands of software that will produce outstanding work in the classroom and the professional world.

The good news for students is that Adobe is openly supportive of students who want to purchase their software. As the educational software discounts page on their website says:

"Administering the needs of schools today can be costly, complex, and time consuming. Adobe Volume Licensing provides significant educational software discounts — both transaction-based and membership-based — helping you save money and maintain control of your Adobe software licenses."

For this reason, students can save up to 80 per cent on the retail price of Adobe software by purchasing a Student Edition. That means students can save hundreds of dollars on software including Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Coldfusion and the Master Collection. All you need to do to take advantage of the offer is show proof of eligibility in the form of one of the following:

Student ID card
Academic transcript
Tuition bill or statement
Any other official document from the academic institution that includes the current date or term, institution name and your own name

Once Adobe has received this information, a registration serial will be sent and the software can be activated. Taking advantage of discounts like this means you will get the best out of the software and your own creativity.
