At Pima Medical Institute, we care about our students and understand that sometimes finances can be tight. Did you know as a student, you can get discounts on computers and software, retail, entertainment, food and more? Discounts are just one of the privileges you should take advantage of before you graduate. The best part, there’s no long forms to fill out or subscriptions to sign up for. Most of the time all you need is your student ID, and in some cases your student email address, in order to start saving some cash. Until you walk across that stage to accept your certificate or degree, that little piece of plastic and student email address are your most useful tools for saving money.
To help you make the most of your student status, we’ve put together the ultimate list of student discounts. Keep in mind, these are only a handful we’ve found, as there are many more places you can save. Just be sure to ask when you’re out dining or shopping.
