Questions

What if my school isn't a listed partner?

Any verified .edu email qualifies for the student discount regardless — no partner list required.

What email domains count?

This currently checks for .edu-style domains. If your institution doesn't use one, you can still partner with Lenstrum directly: Get in touch →

How does verification work — is it automatic at signup?

Sign up with your school email like any other account — there's no separate application. Once you're signed in, Lenstrum automatically checks your email domain and shows the discounted price on the Pricing page if you qualify.

Do I keep the discount after I graduate?

Yes — there's currently no annual re-verification requirement, so your account keeps the discounted rate at renewal.

What's the difference between the student discount and a partnership?

The student discount is self-serve and automatic — it's the same Lenstrum Pro plan, just priced for individual students with a qualifying email. A partnership is for organizations, can cover multiple people, and starts with a conversation rather than an automatic signup.

What does a partnership include?

A partnership can include co-branding options for classroom or newsroom deployment, curriculum and research integration support, and custom onboarding for your team — scoped to what makes sense for your organization.

Does partnering mean our name/logo appears anywhere?

Only if you want it to. Co-branding is one option we can discuss — it's not required, and plenty of partnerships stay entirely behind the scenes.

Is there a minimum size or commitment to partner?

No fixed minimum — partnerships are scoped to what makes sense for your team or organization, from a single classroom to a full newsroom. Reach out and we'll figure out the right shape together.
