Millions of college students have already turned to Amazon as a great way to save money on textbooks and more. Now, just in time for the new school year, they can score even more savings thanks to a Prime Student promotion.

An Amazon Prime membership normally costs $99 a year and comes with a one-month trial period. When you sign up now for an Prime Student promotion using a valid .edu email address, you’ll get the first six months totally free and your subscription will be 50 percent off after your trial.
