Best deals, discounts and freebies for students in 2021

There’s no shame in trying to save money where you can at any point in your life, but especially as a student these days. Fortunately, a lot of companies really want you to use their stuff, so they offer pretty good discounts on so many products and services.

For example, with a valid .edu email address or proof of enrollment (via a validation service such as SheerID or Unidays), you can score impressive deals on Microsoft Office, Spotify and Hulu subscriptions and even Amazon Prime.

We’ve rounded up all of the best opportunities in this article. Be sure to check with your school’s housing department and student bookstore as well, where you might find certain streaming services for free or cheap, and extra discounts on devices and software.

New tribal colleges offer ‘sense of belonging’ for Native students but hit roadblocks

Tribal colleges provide culturally relevant education for Native students. California faces an uphill battle for lack of funding and a lengthy accreditation process.

Victoria Chubb was supposed to study photography at a college in New Mexico after graduating from high school in Riverside County, but was afraid of being far away from home. 

“I really did just chicken out to leave my reservation and to leave California,” said Chubb, a member of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.

Lights! Camera! Action for Poway Unified students in summer workshop

A free two-week summer workshop on cinema for high schoolers will culminate Friday in a film debut at Angelika Film Center & Café.

That is when Poway Unified high school students and invited guests will view the teens’ creative efforts on a movie theater screen.

The AME Summer Cinema Workshop brought 17 incoming freshmen through seniors together with professionals in the film industry so the teens could explore the Arts, Media and Entertainment Career Technical Education Pathway in Poway Unified.

To make the short film “The Sidekick,” students had to go through every step of the film production process under the guidance of mentors. The student-created film is about an ordinary woman who finds herself mistaken for a superhero and she ends up helping her new sidekick save the day, said Ross Kallen, digital media production teacher at Rancho Bernardo High.
