"Apple revealed its "Back to School" sales promotion for summer 2014, offering $100 Apple Store Gift Cards for new Mac purchases and $50 Apple Store Gift Cards for iPhones and iPads."
In the same way, Orange in cooperation with Universities around the world, can set up digital wallets topped up with 100 Euro, to be used for mobile apps and Online services purchase and monthly subscriptions, by enrolled students.
At the start of the University Year, during enrolment, each student receives a toped up digital wallet.
The Back to School Wallet can :
1. Help, fellow students who develop mobile applications/startups during the university year, to gain traction and an impulse to not stop working on them
2. Help, students gain a insight in what application have to offer, besides the not paid version
3. Teach them why using a digital wallet is better for the environment, than using day by day money.
UPDATE:
1. Orange together with Universities and schools, can create a platfom(similar to google play) containing all the apps and services developed during school year. The platform can be accesed based on the Student ID Code.
2. The topups can be offered through :
Accesing European Funds
University Funds
Venture Companies
3. The platform can be extended to art created by students.
App usage according to the age group:18-24 year olds: People within this age group spend 37 hours and 6 minutes (average) using 28 apps per month.
25-34 year olds: These people averagely spend about 35 hours and 40 minutes using 29.5 apps per month.
81% of youth who are under 25 go to bed along with their phone. 74% get to their smartphones immediately after waking up
Usage stats on paid app users:46% of smartphone users are using paid apps
52% of the users reported that they haven’t paid more than $5 for apps
17% of app users said that they have paid more than $20 for apps
People aged 30 or more, college graduates, people earning $50,000 or more and those who are living in urban places are more likely to pay for apps.

This idea is very good for as an education supporter for two causes:
ترجمة1. Educate students to use smart wallet starting from their first steps in the "grownups world"
2. Encourage students education in general by providing them a great start.

أبرز الأصلIt is super nice, because this idea helps people to discover the pros of mobile payments (and allow them to test it) and the unknown power of their smartphones : a number of users can feel limited because they can't use their smartphone at its maximum potential.
ترجمةWe could imagine the same kind of action for mobile money : discover this service thanks to 5 or 10€ preloaded ! There is no better way to convince customers than to have them test your product :)

As long as one member of the accelerated startups is still in University or they can be of real help for students, i do not see why not.
ترجمةWhen we google up - apps for students - we get About 226,000,000 results (0.35 seconds) . This are the surface ones. If we enter into search for apps for specific courses and university subjects we may get other billions of results. (of course repetitive ones).
