For students, the monthly cost of Spotify Premium can add up. The good news is that Spotify offers a dedicated student plan at roughly half the standard price—helping you save a significant amount. This article breaks down the eligibility requirements and step-by-step application process so you can enjoy all Premium features (no ads, offline playback, unlimited skips, high-quality audio) at the lowest price possible.
What Is the Spotify Student Plan?
The Spotify Student Plan (also called Spotify Student) is available to enrolled students worldwide. The subscription typically costs $4.99 per month (compared to the regular $9.99), though prices may vary slightly by region. It includes every Premium feature: ad-free listening, unlimited skips, offline downloads, and high-quality audio streaming. There is no time limit on the discount—as long as you re-verify your student status once a year, you can keep the half-price rate.
Eligibility & Required Documents
To qualify for the student subscription, you need to be enrolled at an accredited higher education institution (university, college, etc.) and have either a school-issued email address (usually ending in .edu) or a valid student ID card. In some regions, you may also need to verify through a third-party platform like SheerID. Even if your school email doesn’t end in .edu, you can still get approved by providing enrollment documents or a photo of your student ID.
