Is a 13 year old 8th grade eligible on Apple Education Store?

Can I buy products even if I am in 8th grade? I am thinking on buying a MacBook.

While you may not be eligible under various rules (from Apple Education legal page) to buy Mac

this way, similar discounts can be found from the 'Apple Refurbished and Clearance Store' online.

The discounts at Refurbished store online are good; however inventory changes fast.

You could see about 'how to get Apple education pricing' in your school system; conditional rules:

On an individual basis, you may find this way-deeper than one can navigate; an Adminstrator

and other officials usually have to become involved in this matter, at some level, to get started.


Most education price structures seem to be on College level; they have age based restrictions.

And sponsorship by an institution is the commonplace expectation. (I've never used ed store.)


Good luck!🌻🍀

I don’t think my school is approved because the school never had apple products. Also if I order a product, when will they send me the verification and how should I verify?

Usually these kinds of things require you to be of certain age, and status

to qualify; and the education system &/or school location you attend to

have certification. ~ So I'd say (as already alluded) the answer more likely

would not be in the affirmative.

"Eligibility. Those eligible to purchase from Apple Store for Education

Individuals include faculty, staff, students and parents as follows: K-12

Any employee of a public or private 'K-12 institution' in United States is

eligible, including homeschool teachers."

(If you were qualified as 'home schooled' and had proof, you may try

to end-run past the local situation of no school affiliation w/ Apple.)


Still, could get % price break, from retail: Refurbished and Clearance

store online. ~ Maybe a discount toward optional AppleCare+ plan.
