# Students and Non Profits

## Students

If you are a (film) student, you are likely eligible for a Student License (prev. a "for Education" license). Student Licenses are one-year licenses and optionally include Pro features. Student Licenses are available for all products except Arctic, Canister, and ScopeBox.

To qualify for a Student License, [email us](mailto:edu@hedge.video) from your school's email address and specify which app(s) you're looking to get, and if you want the Pro version or not. If you don't have an email issued by your school, send us a proof of enrollment for this year that clearly states your personal email.

* You are a full-time student.
* Your school is a not-for-profit institution.
* You either email us from your school email, or a proof of enrollment that shows your personal email.

{% hint style="success" %}
Unfortunately, we see a lot of abuse of Student Licenses. If you receive a Student License purchase link from us, it's tied to your email. Using the coupon with a different email will result in the purchased license being revoked. In such cases, there will be no refund and you will no longer be eligible for future Student Licenses.
{% endhint %}

## Teachers

Full-time teachers can also apply for Student Licenses, provided you do so through an email tied to the educational institution.

## Schools & Non-profits

Our apps are free for schools up to and including secondary school. That covers primary and secondary education, whatever it is called where you are: K-12, sixth form, and local equivalents. [Email us](mailto:edu@hedge.video) with your school's details and the apps you need.

From the first year of higher education onwards, a discount applies instead. This includes universities, film schools, other educational organizations, non-profits, and NGOs. [Email us](mailto:edu@hedge.video) and include proof of non-profit status if not obvious. Please list which products you require and how many computers you need to install which of our products.

## Tax Exempt

If you are tax-exempt because of your (non-EU) non-profit status, depending on your order size, we either invoice you from Europe (tax-exempt by definition) or send you a custom order, which is processed by Paddle. After completion, Paddle can process your tax-exempt status and issue a partial refund.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hedge.video/general/purchasing/educational-discounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
