Is there a YouTube Premium student discount?
Yes — eligible college students get YouTube Premium for $8.99/mo (versus $15.99), including YouTube Music Premium, ad-free video, and downloads.
How it works
Students enrolled at an eligible college or university can get YouTube Premium for $8.99/mo instead of the standard $15.99/mo. You verify your student status through SheerID.
The student plan includes everything in regular Premium: ad-free YouTube, background play, downloads, and YouTube Music Premium.
What it's worth
At $8.99/mo versus $15.99, the student rate saves about $7/mo (roughly $84/yr). And because it includes YouTube Music Premium, you can cancel a separate music subscription on top of that.
How to claim it
- 1Go to youtube.com/premium/student.
- 2Verify your student status through SheerID.
- 3Subscribe at the $8.99/mo student rate, and cancel any redundant music service.
Good to know: You must be enrolled at a SheerID-approved higher-education institution (not high school), and you re-verify eligibility every year, for up to 4 years total. Pricing can change — confirm the current student rate on YouTube.
