Public school eligibility for educational rates / Creator Studio Apple has promoted their educational rates for Creator Studio. I am a public high school teacher and cannot get verified to receive the educational rate. The process isn't smooth and I'm not sure what to do next. It is managed through Sheer ID, but when I go through the steps of requesting verification I get a dialogue box that says This offer is unavailable. The academic institution you have selected is not eligible for this offer. My question - are public high schools not eligible for this? If so, why not? Appreciate any guidance that can be provided.

Student Discount if i am student in UK university , does it apply when i buy from Apple store in Singapore Hi Team, I am parent of a Student enrolled in UK university this fall and would like to get her iPad Pro in Singapore using the student discount, she has a verified Unidays id. I just need one clarification as Singapore Apple website says education discount is applicable to student enrolled in Uni / poly / higher education institution in Singapore, does that mean even if online website accepts Unidays login verification (based on UK uni) they will charge us extra to our credit card later on since her University is NOT in singapore but in UK. Please clarify and help me decide if i can buy online here in Singapore or should i wait until she reaches UK in September end. Thanks

Apple is quite strict regarding which Institutions qualify students for discounts in the Apple Store. If your institution it's not supported, then I'm afraid there's nothing that we can do for you. You can try to contact Education Retail Support to see if they have any ideas.
