App Store Volume Purchase Program – 50% OFF for Educational Institutions

Apple has initiated the Volume Purchase Program a few months ago, which enables educational institutions to purchase multiple copies of iOS apps.

The program also offers 50% discount of the original price if you purchase 20 units or more. As of November 2010, the program is available in the United States.

Here is the summary, cited from the Apple’s website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/education/):

“The Volume Purchase Program makes it easy for educational institutions to purchase iOS apps in volume and distribute those apps to users. The Volume Purchase Program also allows app developers to offer special pricing for purchases of 20 apps or more.”

“Volume Vouchers can be purchased at the Apple Store for Education in denominations of $100, $500, $1000, $5000, $10,000. These vouchers can be bought on behalf of the educational institution by an Authorized Purchaser, and they may use purchase orders. The Authorized Purchaser is often a purchasing agent at the institution. You should receive your Volume Vouchers in the mail within 3 to 5 business days.”

To get started, please call 1-800-800-APPL (1-800-800-2775 option 2, then option 2 again).
