Eligibility Requirements for Education Pricing
Avid Media Composer | Ultimate offers significant discounts to students, teachers, and faculty members from qualified academic institutions. To qualify for education pricing, individuals must meet specific eligibility requirements. University/college students, faculty, and staff from accredited institutions are eligible, as well as secondary school students and homeschool teachers and students within the United States. Institutions purchasing for institutional use are also eligible for multiple licenses of Media Composer | Ultimate at education pricing. However, Pro Tools Ultimate is not eligible for student or teacher discounts.
Eligibility Verification Process
After making a purchase, students and educators seeking discounted education pricing will be required to provide proof of eligibility. This verification process is facilitated by Proxi.id, a partner of Avid, to ensure the validity of academic credentials. Higher education students must present evidence of current enrollment, while teachers and staff need to show proof of current employment at recognized educational institutions. For institutions making institutional purchases, evidence of current employment at an academic institution is necessary.
Proof of Eligibility Requirements
To validate your eligibility for education pricing, you may need to provide certain documentation depending on your status. This can include student ID cards, tuition statements, course bills, faculty pay stubs, employer confirmations, or institutional email addresses. Secondary school students and homeschool teachers or students also have specific documentation requirements to prove their eligibility.
How to Purchase
Eligible students and educators can purchase individual education pricing versions of Avid software from the Avid Online Store or authorized resellers by providing the required proof of eligibility. Academic institutions looking to purchase multi-seat licenses must do so through a school or university purchase order, with the possibility of volume discounts in some cases. The process for obtaining education pricing for both individuals and institutions is seamless when the eligibility requirements are met.
Restrictions and Considerations
It is important to note that Avid education programs and pricing are not available in certain embargoed countries. Avid Media Composer | Ultimate aims to make its powerful tools accessible to the educational community within eligible locations, allowing students, teachers, and academic institutions to benefit from discounted pricing and unlock the full potential of their creative endeavors.
