I've thought about this a lot generally. Mostly because I went to college in Canada and didn't have a .edu email address, made it really hard for me to get these kinds of discounts. Plus, who says you need to be in traditional education anyway.

If anyone wants the DO portion of this and are not enrolled in traditional education but learning code full time and thinks they should get it regardless: email me: john@do.co

You contact the platform and you tell them. That's what happened with GitHub and Jetbrains, my university domain wasn't accepted by them, some students contacted them and both times they were fast to react. Sure it's harder than with an .edu email address but it's far from being an issue.
Sadly I can only do something about the DigitalOcean part, but like I said above, if anyone wants to make the case I'm happy to apply the credit for those enrolled in the full time study of code/serverz/whatever. :)
