# I don’t meet the requirements or eligibility guidelines for an education discount

Education discounts available through our partners may be designed for specific types of institutions or for particular roles within those institutions, so eligibility can differ from one program to another.

**Institution type:** Some programs accept a wide range of educational institutions, while others are restricted to a defined category, such as higher education providers or universities. 

**Role within an institution:** For some programs, eligibility is limited to defined groups of individuals at an eligible institution. For example, a university might qualify at the organization level, but the offer may only be available to teaching staff.

Eligibility guidelines vary from partner to partner, even among programs that appear similar. Before applying, we recommend reviewing the eligibility information on the partner’s official program page on their website.
