Nordstrom does not offer a student discount in-store or online. To get this information, we spoke with corporate customer service representatives and contacted individual store locations in Kansas, Iowa, Georgia, and Florida to confirm.

Nordstrom Rack does not offer student discounts either, customer service representatives said. However, Nordstrom Rack’s prices are up to 70% off of the original list prices, and it sells many of the same designer brands as Nordstrom.

Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack do not offer discounts for any specific group, including students, seniors, or members of the military. See our related research on Nordstrom’s military discount policy for details.
