Hi all,

Sorry if this is the wrong category, I can move it elsewhere for sure. Are there any discounts for academic users? It would be awesome to utilize this in our projects if so!

Thanks!

Hi there,

As a system development teacher (Java/C#), I can confidently say that both my colleagues and students would greatly appreciate having a discount for academic users. It would be a fantastic opportunity to incorporate these tools into our projects and learning activities. A discount would make it more accessible for educational purposes and could significantly enhance the learning experience for everyone involved.

Cursor is awesome, and I think my students would benefit of using it.

Best,  
Marcus
