Students discounts you may not know about

Take advantage of the saving opportunities you have as a student!

As a student, it can be difficult to manage your budget and save, so it’s a great idea to get the most out of any discounts available to you.

Here’s a list of avenues to investigate for potential student deals.

1. Lower prices for theatre and the arts

Plays and other performances often offer reduced ticket prices for students. If student prices are not obvious from the get-go, it’s worth checking!

2. Reduced rates for music and media streaming services

Since you’re probably listening or watching anyway, don’t miss out on potential savings. Check your account to see if the service offers a student rate.

3. Deals on technology

Some brands have reduced rates for buying technology, like laptops and software, when you’re a student. Look into the terms and conditions to make sure you qualify.

4. Store sales on certain weekdays

A few stores, including grocery stores, have deals on specific days of the week for students. Keep an eye out for those opportunities, both online and in person.

5. Airline deals

It may seem too good to be true, but watch out for student promos for flights. Some Canadian airlines partner with student discount websites for deals.

6. Membership at Cambrian

If you’re 22 years old or younger, you can become a member of Cambrian Credit Union and bank for free!

The Connect Account automatically qualifies you for free banking until you turn 23 years old, including no monthly fee and unlimited free* transactions (direct debit, credit union ATM withdrawal, bill payment, cheque and more).


Check out the details on a Connect Account here.

7. Cambrian’s Learning for Life Scholarship

This isn’t a discount per se, but as a post-secondary student, you can apply for Cambrian’s Learning for Life Scholarship when it opens in the spring and earn one of the five awards we give each year.

“I had a wonderful experience at Cambrian. I've been with the same institution for the last 21 years and all the fees and restrictions have finally pushed me into wanting to make some changes.

My advisor was prepared for my arrival with all the documents ready and waiting. He took the time to go over each one...”
