.edu email account?

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can get an .edu email address? Plenty of sites (Amazon, Dropbox and I think Apple) offer discounts and other stuff to students but apparently an .edu email is necessary. Is the studentmail.ul.ie the only thing we get?

You can get discounted prices on Apple.ie by going through the student portal on the web browser on the computers in college. About 5 months ago I registered my UL email adress on Dropbox as an educational one and it was accepted, doubling all my invites from 250mb to 500mb, however I tried it last week with my brothers UL email and it did not work, so perhaps something within the system has changed, all I know is that it previously did work for me
