The thread focuses on places that give free or reduced price software based on your .edu email address. Some of the best responses include a few we've mentioned before, like:
- Amazon offers their premium Prime service free to students for a year

- Autodesk has a student version available for free.

Whatever your choice, there are some great deals to have on software if you are a student. Before any large purchases, make sure to check with the company to see if they offer any academic discounts on programs, you might be pleasantly surprised! Photo courtesy Eflon.
Intuit-owned Mint.com is heading to schools today with the launch of a free, online program designed to educate middle-school students about personal finance and financial management.
Mint has partnered with educational publisher Scholastic to develop materials that parents and teachers can use to teach children the ins and outs of personal finance management. The materials includes lesson plans as well as an interactive game, to teach children money management, budgeting and goals.
For example, the program teaches children the concept of compound interest with real-life math problems, and encourages children to set goals and budgets with their own current work opportunities (i.e. babysitting).
Mint says the curriculum will be expanded to 30,000 classrooms nationwide early next year. Considering the state of the economy and credit, teaching children financial literacy and sounds personal finance practices at an early edge is an incredibly important initiative. In terms of branding, this is a big win for Mint, which can start building awareness of its tools among students at an early age.
