DoorDash has launched DashPass for Students, a new subscription plan for Canadians enrolled in higher learning, priced at $4.99 a month.

"Students represent a large ordering demographic in Canada, with nearly 60 per cent of students in Canada using food delivery apps," says Shilpa Arora, general manager at DoorDash Canada. "The arrival of DashPass for Students provides students in Canada access to everything from late night study snacks and grocery items to their favourite meal, in a convenient, fast and affordable manner."

At half the price of a standard monthly DashPass subscription, DashPass for Students subscribers receive benefits including unlimited $0 delivery fees on eligible orders over the minimum subtotal plus reduced service fees, 5 per cent DoorDash credits back on every eligible Pickup order, DashPass exclusive promotions and menu items. The DashPass for Students subscription is eligible to all undergraduate and graduate students at accredited colleges and universities in Canada.
