CollegeBudget is a website that operates a student discount program. The company, founded in 2011, allows people with .edu e-mail addresses to receive discounts when shopping with participating merchants.[1]
Discounts
Discounts are offered by merchants to the students through CollegeBudget. Merchants only pay for this service, if and when students make a purchase with the discount.
CollegeBudget occasionally features charity deals where proceeds of sales are contributed to a non-profit organization.
Additional features
CollegeBudget also offers textbooks rentals and student loan comparisons.
History
CollegeBudget was created by the founders of CampusBuddy, a social academic platform.
CollegeBudget was included in the Empact100 list, and as a result invited to the White House for a recognition ceremony.[2]
