The program for students is priced competitively at $4.99 per month, and provides them with access to all the various perks that come with a Shipt membership. The program is launching in a timely manner to coincide with the back to school season that’s beginning to gain momentum now as the midpoint of summer arrives. The brand is also unveiling its second phase of a collaboration with Issa Rae to help empower underrepresented voices in creative industries with the Help of Howard University students.
Chief Marketing Officer Alia Kemet commented on the Shipt college student membership program saying, “Shipt is incredibly proud to make the convenience and simplicity of same-day delivery even more accessible and affordable for college students nationwide. Who knows better what college students want than students themselves? As a proud Howard University graduate myself, I was thrilled to work alongside these bright creative minds. The students did a brilliant job creating a best-in-class campaign while gaining real-world experience.”
