- MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac: 22,000 yen Apple Gift Card
- iPad Pro or iPad Air: 15,000 yen Apple Gift Card
This year's promotion in Japan runs from January 30 through April 9 and is available to qualified education customers who certify their eligibility through UNiDAYS at the time of order. Current and admitted students to universities, colleges, and vocational schools, as well as faculty, staff, and PTA officers at junior high, high, university, and vocational schools, are eligible.
