"In 1983, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the company's Kids Can't Wait program that aimed to donate an Apple II computer, a monitor, a disk drive, and Apple software to every public elementary and high school in California that had at least 100 students. The program was a short-lived, but it created lasting relationships between Apple and many schools - and entire school districts - and cemented the company's commitment to supporting students and educators alike, a commitment that continues today."
"Students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and any teacher at a K-12 school, are eligible for Apple discounts under the Apple Education Pricing program. Today, decades after Apple first lent support to teachers and students, that help continues, and largely in the form of reduced pricing. Students can prove their eligibility for savings online at checkout by uploading scans of documents like a student ID or tuition bill. These items can also be shown in person at an Apple Store."
Apple offers teachers and students in grades K-12 discounted pricing on many of its products and provides free educator access to online forums and tutorials. The company began donating computers to schools soon after its 1976 founding, with donations growing into the thousands by the early 1980s. In 1983 Apple launched the Kids Can't Wait program to donate Apple II systems and software to qualifying California schools, creating lasting relationships with districts. K-12 students and teachers qualify for education pricing and verify eligibility with school IDs, pay stubs, letters of employment, or tuition bills. Discounts cover a wide range of devices, including iPads.
