Apple doesn't ask for any proof. Literally ANYONE can get the discount. The fine print, if I recall, even says parents can buy for themselves.
Load up Apple account balance using Apple gift cards from Target at close to 14% discount and wait for Tax free weekends Smilie
In the past the answer has been no.

Quote from hottie :
I am exactly going through the same thing, we went to the Apple Store to try out and see what works and now it depends what major your child is going to be in. We settled for iPad 11 Pro with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil , this was more convenient but not cost effective. $1147 + tax (iPad Pro 11 128GB, Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, Airpods). My kid is majoring in biology as well.

Almost all medical students use iPad Pro 12.9 inch as it helps with split view specially when you are trying to understand anatomy as well as such functions. I was pretty old school note taker and just notes by one aspiring doctor changed my mind 3 years ago.

I think 11 inch should be fine too, and MacBook is secondary. I personally didn't liked ipad keyboard and prefer my cheap MB air. However if you want to avoid MacBook, I would prefer 12.9 as its keyboard and multitasking is closer to a 13 inch laptop.

They discount is applied to the MacBook. If you return it, you're still paying for the airpods. HOWEVER, because of this you can return the airpods and keep the discount on the MacBook. You get student discount and 160 off so pretty good deal for macs

have you done this? return the airpods at full price? if so did you go to the store or did it online with a custom rep?
I agree on the receipt it shows airpods at full price but not sure they will fall for it when they are actually returned. Thanks

I loaded my Amazon gift card on my account. Then I used it to buy the GC. You can try the apple email GC first. If that does not work, then try the physical GC to be mailed to you
