No one will argue that being a student or a young adult (or both simultaneously) comes with some challenges. Whether you're navigating life as a young adult or you're deep into studying for a degree, you deserve a break. Thanks to Amazon, you're in for an exclusive savings on a Prime membership and a small savings on a future purchase.

As of Aug. 7, students and young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 can sign up for a free 6-month membership to Amazon Prime. Once the free membership is over, your account will auto-renew at $7.49 per month, or $69 annually. Both are a 50% discount compared to the usual Prime membership price of $14.99 per month or $139 annually.

But there's one more element to know about this deal: Until August 31, Amazon is offering $10 off of a future purchase for all who sign up for Prime for Young Adults. But if you're already a member, you can get $5 off a purchase of $50 or more on eligible items. Everyone wins!

Amazon Prime for students and young adults comes packed with benefits. For starters, you'll get free two-day shipping on thousands of items Amazon sells. That means if you need extra notebooks or a mattress topper to make your dorm bed actually comfortable, it'll arrive ASAP. In some locations, you'll find items eligible for free same-day shipping.

Not only can you get supplies and essentials delivered to your doorstep, but Amazon Prime comes with a free membership to Grubhub+ food delivery, so you'll be set if you're too busy to make dinner.

Prime also comes with access to Prime Video, Prime Gaming, and Amazon Prime Music for when you have some down-time to relax and chill. The Prime membership for young adults also comes with discounts on textbooks, as well as free audiobooks and e-books.
