I want to implement an eco server as a school-wide social, political and economical project but the licence cost for students kills the initiative. I've bought and handed out two licences as a reward in a coding assignment but can afford only so much from my paycheck.
We offer educational discounts for licenses, depending on the amount of licenses purchased. It so far hasn't really been a problem for the schools we worked with (and not at all for universities and institutions of adult education) to stem the cost - especially as the licenses can be kept by the students for playing at home and the costs are typically borne by either the government (e.g. whatever institution handles education on the level of the school) or the parents.
