I believe you need to be in further / higher education to recieve a NUS card, it doesnt go on age.

I.e. 6th form, college or uni

Hope this helps

You can be any age - as long as you are a student at an organisation that is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS). Most colleges and universities are affiliated.

I assume you are still at school - they probably won't have the affiliation.

What a great suggestion :money:

What you should do is go to your school office, and ask the secretary for an NUS card form. You have to be 16+ to be eligible. After filling all the details etc you have to present it back to your school, and they will stamp if for you. The good old days!

There is an Associate card as well for those places which are not affiliated with NUS. You will still need to be in Further/Post 16 Eduction to get one though (6th Form/College).

You can get one at 16 if you are in college, it costs £20, but wait until you are in Uni, as you can claim one free with most student bank accounts or through some student unions.

Get a Connexions Card - it acts as a student discount card for under 18s in full time education. - and it's free!

Connexions card scheme closed down a year ago!

Its only £7.00 for a NUS associate card. Also only one bank last year (Lloyds TSB) offered an NUS card with their student bank account.
