Mar 25, 2014 Microsoft: Visit the Microsoft Store for Education and save 10% off software, Windows PC’s, accessories, and more. This list is not accurate for the student discounts for high school students because majority of the food places that are listed do not honor the high school students. How can I get academic software deals through OnTheHub? There are two main ways: 1) Your school or department web store. Find out what savings your school is offering with our School Search! And 2) The OnTheHub eStore. We carry software that are essential for students – including SPSS, Microsoft, and more – for up to 90% off retail price! I am a high school student entering my sophomore year. I recently bought a new Mac and with the Mac I also bought the office 365 university. I received the office 365 university today and noticed that on the package it says it is to only be used by college or university student or staff.
A few years ago I wrote about Microsoft Office and Windows 7 discounts for College and University students and as good as these deals might be, let’s just say I’ve left the best deal for students for last. I’m talking about Microsoft DreamSpark and the great news on this Microsoft program is High School students can also get in on the action.
Unlike Microsoft’s other discount programs, Microsoft DreamSpark offers students FREE, NO-COSTaccess to all of Microsoft’s development, server and designer tools including the following software titles: (as of the writing of this groovy Article)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2003
- SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Express
- Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Visual Studio 2005
- Visual Web Developer 2008 Express

- Visual Basic 2008 Express
- Robotics Developer Studio 2008 R2

- XNA Game Studio 3.1

As of March 26, 2009 the DreamSpark program was expanded to include High School students around the globe in addition to College and University Students. Hear that groovy High School readers! Microsoft isn’t leaving you out in the cold this time!
