Does the Wall Street Journal offer a student discount? Yes, if you are a student enrolled in classes and have a verified .edu email address from an accredited college or university, you can subscribe to WSJ Digital for $4 per month or Digital + Print for $10 per month with the Student Discount at wsj.com. You might even qualify for a free WSJ subscription sponsored by your school!
Here is today’s featured subscription deal, plus the best ways for students to get a discounted or free Wall Street Journal subscription.
WSJ students: Student discount | Cost | Print edition | Free for students | Verification
The WSJ Digital Student Subscription Discount:
Students can get WSJ Digital for just $4/month or sometimes as low as $24/year through special promotions. That gives you:
- Unlimited access to WSJ.com
- Full use of the WSJ app
- Subscriber-only exclusive newsletters and market insights
To get this discount, you’ll need to verify your student status through SheerID with your .edu email address during sign-up on this page at wsj.com. It’s quick and easy, and you’ll have the option to add Print delivery.
WSJ Student Subscription Cost:
The Wall Street Journal is very generous with subscription pricing for students. Here’s how much students can expect to pay now:
- WSJ Student Digital Pack:
$38.99$4 per month - WSJ Student Print + Digital:
$64.99$10 per month
The best thing about these student subscriptions is that, unlike other promotions, they don’t renew at a higher price and stay at these low rates as long as you are a student!
WSJ Student Print Subscription Discount:
If you prefer holding the paper in your hands, consider the WSJ Student Print & Digital Pack, which costs $10 per month as long as you are a student.
So, is it worth it? Here’s what the WSJ Student Print & Digital Pack includes:
- 6-day Home delivery (Monday-Saturday) of the newspaper and WSJ Magazine on Saturday
- Full WSJ digital access to the WSJ app and WSJ.com
- Popular daily puzzles and crosswords
- The 10-Point, a subscriber-exclusive daily newsletter
The WSJ Student & Digital Pack offer is here on wsj.com
Can College Students Get a WSJ Subscription for Free?
Yes, some colleges and universities provide WSJ access for free to enrolled students and professors!
How to check if your school offers free WSJ subscriptions:
- Go to education.wsj.com/students
- Click “Enter University Name” and enter the name of your college or university
- Log in with your NetID login, or .edu email address to activate your free access
I notice that numerous state universities and top colleges for economics, including Harvard, offer free WSJ subscriptions to their students.
If your school does not participate, you can still sign up for the discounted student rates for Digital or Print at wsj.com/student or even give a gift subscription.
WSJ Student Verification Process
To get the student discount, you’ll need to provide the following info at signup for verification:
- Name as shown on school ID
- University name
- Your .edu email address
- Graduation month and year
If you already have an account with WSJ or another Dow Jones product like Barron’s or MarketWatch, you can sign in with your existing password
We also have student discounts for Fanatics, Factor Meals, and WeightWatchers.
Life Moves Pretty Fast…
If you’re in college, it’s a great idea to take advantage of the Wall Street Journal Student discount. Also, a word of advice from a tired old guy, “Don’t be afraid to disagree with your teachers, and don’t rush through college!”
As Ferris Bueller once said:
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
