Hello, greetings from France !
Would you consider bringing the possibility to buy a Framework laptop at a lower price when you are a student ?
Many brands do this via Unidays for example (Samsung, HP, Apple, Acer,…).
It would be great to have the Framework experience when you only have a student budget 
Which is my case haha
Thank you !

UNiDAYS could give your the opportunity to be more famous to have a public of 10M students worldwide. They say they are the largest students network.
I’ve seen in « Introduce yourself » topic many people interested in the project were students, also, many said they wish it could be a bit cheaper.
I really believe working with a worldwide students network, if it’s a money loss for the company, would be a great idea. Even more because we need computers and the young generation is more and more interested in ecological solutions.

I hope I will get an answer from the staff

It would be great if there will be a discount option for students via Unidays. I will start to study this year and I really want to buy a FrameWork Laptop but the price is still to high for me and other students.

Warm Greetings! I will also be starting college this fall and would need to get a computer. I would love to get a Framework device but the costs seems little outside for my budget (even for a DIY i11). It would be really great to have an option for students to avail the computer at a discounted price, like most other brands do. I would not like to resort to other brands just due to Framework’s relatively high cost. So, I too wanted to follow up on this request as there hasn’t been any responses from the team.

Good day to you all!
Being a student, this laptop is, if not, the most ideal device any student could hope for outside of graphics & film editing (I believe Mac generally takes the cake here). It’s repairable (I don’t know about youse but I am of the opinion we are quite hazard prone people’s), decently affordable based off the average maintenance loan (Or if you’re lucky, the bank of mum and dad).
I think with a little push in advertising on campuses etc, Framework has the potential to take over the student space. There is a market for students needing repairs etc and ofc they can save a couple quid with the DIY edition and have another student build it for them!
Additionally, through what I would hope be the university’s existing connections with the local schools etc, spare/retired parts can be donated to computer clubs to help educate younger enthusiasts if something like Framework had come along when I was a kid I’d have been over the moon and all over it learning as much as I can.
Not to mention, the spare/retired parts market made here could then be used to create affordable Laptops for lower-income families. Since the current price for something new is not actually affordable for said families, the value depreciation here is actually beneficial as a laptop made up of wholly retired parts could be shifted for as little as £120 I reckon.
There is massive potential here and I genuinely hope that Framework is able to stick around and hopefully something like that mentioned above can come to fruition.
Best Regards,

I agree with @Marin_Bo
Framework is currently unaffordable for most students.
It’s shame more of us can’t buy it as we are some of the most eco-conscious people alive, and need a laptop for study.

I’m very surprised you haven’t noticed their action. At least in the UK and E.U. where most of the students I know live, they are the most likely to vote for environmental policies, buy and wear only preloved clothing, be vegan, and even be imprisoned for environmental protest.
I wish I could by my college student a framework laptop for studies but there is no student discount or financing offer. I highly recommend framework consider helping students!
Thanks.
i dont know about him, but id like like to drop it by 75%

Yes but he is a male
Edit: presumably
Buy refurbished laptop
Could (potential) student discounts also apply to high school students, or just college students at the moment? I really want a Framework laptop, as it is my ideal laptop (not with Intel tho.) The reason I ask is, being a teenager, it isn’t always easy to make a ton of money super fast.
I could get a job, but a discount would still help even with a job.
There are no discounts currently, I have no idea why it would make sense to speculate about the exact terms and restrictions of something that doesn’t exist.
There are cheaper and more robust Laptops, that are more suitable to students (especially teenagers). Used Thinkpads are popular.
