Student Membership

Mere Orthodoxy for students.

A discounted membership for students, verified with your school email. Full access to everything we publish, at a student rate.

Choose your membership

Use your school email ending in .edu. It's how we verify you're a student.

We'll email a link to confirm your school address, then take you to checkout. This is a one-time annual payment, not a subscription. We'll remind you before it expires so you can renew.

What's included

  • Every essay and the full 20-year archive
  • Audio versions of essays
  • Mere Fidelity and Christians Reading Classics
  • The Weekly Digest
  • The private Discord community of readers
  • Member dashboard, bookmarks, and the commonplace book
  • The quarterly print journal Print + Digital

Who qualifies?

Anyone with a valid school email address ending in .edu. We verify by emailing a confirmation link to that address before checkout. Each year, you confirm your .edu again when you renew, which keeps you at the student rate.

What's the difference between the two options?

Both give you full digital access to everything Mere Orthodoxy publishes. The $50 option adds the quarterly print journal, mailed to you. The $20 option is digital only.

What happens when I graduate?

Your student membership is a one-time annual payment, so it simply ends unless you renew. We'll email you in the last month and show a reminder in your dashboard. When you're ready, you can move to a full membership any time.
