Hi there, @Gwen21.
Intuit Education Programs helps educator and students improve their skills and expertise in accounting, tax, and entrepreneurship.
For now, eligible users can only have free access to QuickBooks Desktop for Windows, QuickBooks Online, ProConnect Tax Online, TurboTax, and Mint.
Students can apply and set up an account by visiting this website: Student Registration for QuickBooks Desktop.
For QuickBooks Online, they can get a free access through our Intuit Education Program (IEP). They can apply and set up your account by visiting our website or sending an email to education@intuit.com.
Once registered, they will be given a complimentary license to QuickBooks Online Account. Your students on the other hand will be given a 12-month access to QuickBooks Online Plus. You can see more details about IEP in this article: Intuit Education Program.
Feel free to visit us again if you need more help once you have your QuickBooks setup. See you around!
