Student discount
Cursor discontinued new sign-ups for the legacy student discount on June 25, 2026.
Why did Cursor discontinue the student discount?
Cursor stopped new sign-ups for the legacy student discount. The program had become a target for fraud and held Cursor back from reaching students globally. If you already redeemed your student discount, you'll keep your current rate until your plan expires.
Students still have access to discounts and credits through on-campus and online events this fall. Sign up for our campus newsletter to get early access to upcoming events, exclusive discounts, and beginner guides.
