Usually people just check if the domain is `.edu` since IIRC you need to be an accredited institution to acquire one.
EDIT: University/Colleges only. Per wikipedia: "Since 2001, new registrants to the domain have been required to be United States-affiliated institutions of higher education;..."
Many places that offer free tiers for 'education' only worry about that level of education and locale, anyway. (Not saying they should limit it to that, but many do.)
- parthdesai 8y agoThere are schools, atleast here in Canada that are accredited but don't end with .edu.
- hk__2 8y agoA lot (most?) of schools outside of the US don’t have a .edu domain. At least in France, I never saw a single school website ending in .edu.
- detaro 8y agoMost. edu-domains where for a while also given to non-US institutions, but this stopped and has now been US-only for a long time.
