The free Beats offer is pitched at college students, but it's also available to faculty and staff at K-12 and higher education institutes, as well as parents of higher education students. You can choose between a pair of Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones or BeatsX Earphones. This represents a saving of between $149.95 and $299.95.
College students can also take advantage of the Pro Apps Bundle for education which Apple describes as giving "pro tools at student pricing". The bundle includes Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, Motion 5, Compressor 4 and MainStage 3, and costs $199.99.
Other offers includes up to $200 off a qualifying Mac when you take advantage of Apple's education pricing, and 20 percent off the price of AppleCare to insure your new purchases.
