US Only
Cloudflare for Students currently requires a US .edu email. Schools elsewhere can apply to have their domain added.
Usage Above Limits
Workers Paid includes 10 million requests a month; usage beyond the plan is still charged, so watch your card.
Before You Sign Up
Read the current terms before you sign up. Student offers can change without notice. Is the deal part of a subscription? Check the price after the discounted period. Then set a reminder before it renews.
How Verification Works
Have your student email, ID or enrolment letter ready. The brand may ask for proof before the student price applies. Keep any confirmation email in case questions come up later. That helps when you renew or upgrade.
Bottom Line
It costs nothing, so claim it if you will use it. Check what happens when your student status ends. That way a paid plan never starts without you noticing.
Compare the Alternatives
Before you buy, look at the alternatives linked on this page. Another brand may have a bigger student discount. It may also have a lower starting price. Check the final price with tax included. Add shipping too if you are ordering a physical product. The headline discount is not the whole story.
