Agree that you should try to figure out what doing so would actually cost, and what you might hope to gain from the situation.
Of course, if the costs are expected to be relatively low (which I would imagine, given that it isn't likely to be a large % of your users), even if the expected value is zero, you should consider the goodwill and potential long term benefits you might gain.
Plus, you can always try giving out free student accounts, and then if it becomes too expensive, stop. You might even consider a manual approval process, just to make it enough effort that most people won't bother unless they really want it.

The advantage of this approach is that instead of just guessing you'll be naking an informed decision based on an assessment of the underlying assumptions. In my opinion this is hugely superior to just guessing.
