On the heels of Apple’s new improved iTunes U offerings announced yesterday, the Mac and iPad maker today kicked off its annual Back to School promotion, which allows students to save on their next Apple product.
Apple today kicked off the 2014 Back to School promotion, an extension of the company’s existing educational pricing that allows students and educators to score Apple Store Gift Cards with select purchases.
“Get extra credit when you buy a Mac, iPad or iPhone for college,” the landing page for the promotion reads.
This year’s incentives include a $100 Apple Store Gift Card when buying a new Mac for college, while the purchase of an iPad or iPhone delivers a $50 Apple Store Gift Card — and those incentives are on top of educational pricing, which can save students up to $200 on a Mac or $30 on an iPad.
According to Apple’s website, to qualify for education pricing or a gift card incentive, buyers “must be college students, a student accepted to a college, a parent buying for a college student, or a faculty or staff member from any grade level.”
Apple.com also offers special financing for a limited time that enables college students to pay no interest and make no payments for 90 days, which includes the option to apply with a co-applicant such as a parent or guardian.
