How Chegg and DashPass Are Teaming Up to Support Student Budgets

College students just got a major win. Starting now, Chegg Study Pack subscribers across the US can unlock a completely free DashPass Student membership—no hidden costs, no catch. This collaboration brings together two services that matter to students: affordable learning tools and convenient delivery access.

What Students Actually Get

Here’s the deal: bundled right into your existing Chegg subscription, you gain access to DashPass Student perks that normally cost $4.99 monthly. That means unlimited $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, reduced service fees, 5% DoorDash credits back on Pickup orders, and exclusive member promotions. Whether you’re restocking your dorm pantry, grabbing late-night fuel during finals, or picking up supplies for the semester, thousands of restaurants, grocery stores, and local retailers are now within reach—all with zero delivery charges.

Chegg Study Pack itself continues delivering what students rely on: practice tests, math tutoring, writing assistance, and other academic support that helps you master coursework and manage the college workload.

Why This Partnership Makes Sense

DoorDash exec Rob Edell framed it simply: “We want to empower students with tools to manage their coursework while getting what they need delivered on-demand.” The timing isn’t random—DoorDash data shows college students order most heavily during back-to-school season and finals week, making this collaboration strategically aligned with actual student behavior.

From Chegg’s perspective, the mission stays consistent: save students time and money. Mitch Spolan, EVP of Partnerships, noted that DoorDash is already a trusted brand among their user base, so offering free DashPass Student membership directly addresses everyday financial stress many college students face.

The Specifics You Need to Know

This offer applies to current US Chegg Study Pack subscribers who are at least 18, enrolled in an accredited US college or university. One DashPass Student membership activates per Chegg account. If you’re already on a DashPass plan, you’ll need to cancel it first to take advantage of this offer.

Important: Should you cancel your Chegg subscription or if DoorDash terminates the promotion (with 30 days notice), your DashPass Student membership continues automatically at the standard $4.99/month rate unless you manually cancel it. The promotion was originally valid through August 1, 2023.

Standard DashPass conditions apply—benefits only cover eligible orders meeting minimum subtotals, and service fees, taxes, and tips still apply on top.

The Companies Behind This

DoorDash operates a technology platform connecting consumers with local merchants across 27 countries, having built its delivery infrastructure since 2013. Chegg serves millions of global learners through academic support products, professional development training, and learning-focused tools—publicly traded under ticker CHGG.

This partnership reflects how larger consumer platforms are directly integrating benefits for student segments, recognizing this demographic’s need for both academic resources and practical cost-saving tools.
