Back-to-School Deals: Apple’s Gift Card Offer for Students and Educators
The time of the year when students return to school after a long summer break is finally here, and with it, the highly anticipated back-to-school deals from top tech brands. Apple, in particular, has a long-standing tradition of offering discounts and gift cards to eligible customers who purchase Apple devices for school use. This year, students, faculty, staff, and other eligible customers can get up to a $150 Apple Gift Card when buying a MacBook Pro, or $100 for a MacBook Air, iPad Air, or iPad Pro.

The offer comes at a particularly opportune time, as Apple recently raised prices on many of its devices by $100 or more. This means that customers might be able to buy a MacBook for what it would have cost them last month. However, it’s essential to note that the new MacBook Neo, iPad mini, the iPad (11th Generation), or any desktop Macs are not part of the deal.

The deal runs through August 27, 2026, and Apple products must be purchased directly from Apple to be eligible for the gift card. Currently, purchasing from Apple could save customers double, as Apple already offers educational discounts for eligible students purchasing many of these products—and that discount stacks with this gift card offer. The gift card credit can be used on Apple products, accessories, apps, subscription services like Apple Music, iCloud+ storage, and more.

But who exactly is eligible for the gift card offer? If you’re a current or newly accepted higher-education student, a faculty or staff member at a higher-education institution, a parent purchasing on behalf of an eligible student, or an employee of a K-12 institution, then you are eligible. As with the educational discount, you’ll need to do the verification through UNiDAYS to get your gift card.
Here are some of the Apple products that are part of the deal:
- MacBook Pro
- MacBook Air
- iPad Air
- iPad Pro
It’s worth noting that the deal is only available on Apple products purchased directly from Apple. If you’re planning to take advantage of this offer, make sure to check the full terms and conditions to see who is eligible and what products are included.
With the back-to-school season in full swing, Apple’s gift card offer is a great opportunity for students and educators to upgrade their devices and take advantage of the latest technology. So, what are you waiting for? Head over to Apple’s website and start shopping today!
