Are you a student and you can't afford the YouTube Premium individual plan? You can get a decent discount and save some money by signing up for the YouTube Premium student plan.

Here's how to sign up for a YouTube Premium student membership.

How to Sign Up for a YouTube Premium Student Membership

Signing up for a student membership is easy, simply open YouTube in your web browser and follow the steps below:

1. Click on your profile in the top right corner and scroll down to Purchases and memberships.
2. Select Learn more under Premium.

   

3. Click on the button that says Try it free, choose the Student plan, and hit Confirm. Otherwise, scroll down the page and select the Try it for free option under the Student plan.

   

4. Now you have to verify your student status by filling in all your details including your name, surname, date of birth, email address, country, and university or college name. Sadly, if your school is not on the list of options, that means you are not eligible for the student plan.
5. Once you've typed in all your details, select Verify My Student Status.

   

6. You will then need to log in to your university website to prove that you are in fact a student.
7. Additionally, to finish verifying, you will receive an email for uploading documents as proof of enrollment. The document has to include your full name, school, and enrollment date. A class schedule, school ID card, or school tuition receipt are some document examples that SheerID suggests.
8. When you've found the suitable documents to prove that you are a verified student, upload them and click Continue.

   

Now all you have to do is wait for YouTube to review everything and send a confirmation email. If you've been successfully verified, head on over to YouTube, follow the first couple of steps, and add in your payment details to complete the purchase.

What Students Need to Know About the YouTube Premium Student Membership

Firstly, if you want to sign up for the YouTube Premium student membership, you need to make sure that you are enrolled at one of the verified universities or colleges. As of now, the student plan is available in more than 70 locations around the globe, including the United States.

When you sign up for a student membership, it includes all t.he same features as a regular individual YouTube Premium membership, but at a discounted price. Additionally, if it's your first time signing up for a YouTube subscription, you'll even get a one-month free trial.

Signing up means you'll be able to watch videos and listen to music without ads and download YouTube videos for offline viewing. Plus, you can enjoy offline downloads and access to YouTube Music while still being a budget-conscious student.

It's important to keep in mind that you have to verify your student status on a yearly basis to keep your Student plan. To confirm your student status, be sure to look out for a notification towards the end of your yearly plan. From here, you'll have to redo the same steps using SheerID to verify and confirm that you are still qualified for the student discount.

What's more, you'll only have access to the student discount for four years. So, if you finish school or are studying for longer than four years, you'll have to opt for the regular YouTube Premium membership or no membership at all.

At the end of the day, getting a student discount for a YouTube Premium membership is a straightforward process that gives students the opportunity to access YouTube Premium features at a more affordable price.
