Education Licensing / Student Discounts

[DonsTechnology]

Do any of you know how to get set up with any of the computer and/or software companies (Esp. microsoft and HP) to be able to offer bigger discounts to students/ educators. I know that most would require additional proof if who you are selling to, but as my other business revolves around selling to college students, I kinda need those added benefits to get them as customers.

Thanks in advance.

I would contact them directly. I think you'll get better information direct from the source.

I don't know if you can setup an account for yourself directly but I work a lot with private schools and there is a place called Software House International that I set a lot of them up with. Basically I get an account setup for the school and then obtain the quotes for them and forward them to the school. They have hardware and software, last things I bought were a copy of Server 2008 R2 with 20 users cals for about $300 and a SonicWall appliance for about $1500 that retails for about $2200.
