I have found this information on the internet:
...
Before gaining access to discounted pricing on Apple’s Education Store, students, teachers and education staff must verify their eligibility.
In many regions, Apple requires shoppers to confirm their educational status through the third-party verification service UNiDAYS. While UNiDAYS verification had already been mandatory in the U.K., Apple expanded the requirement in May 2026 to additional regions including the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Turkey and Chile as part of a stricter verification process.
- Visit the UNiDAYS website and create a UNiDAYS account.
- Provide details of your college or university.
- Provide your student email address.
UNiDAYS can usually verify student status by confirming your email address, but if that isn’t successful you may need to provide your student ID or other evidence.
