Fazaa Student Card 2026: Complete Guide to Benefits, Discounts, Eligibility & Application

The Fazaa Student Card is a special variant of the Fazaa privilege card, issued by the Dubai Government Human Resources Department, designed specifically for the children of eligible Fazaa cardholders who are currently enrolled in full‑time education. As a dependent card, the Fazaa Student Card allows students to enjoy many of the same discounts and benefits as the primary Fazaa card – from dining and retail to entertainment and travel – independently, without needing their parent to be present. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover Fazaa Student Card benefits, Fazaa Student Card discounts, eligibility, and how to apply for this valuable card.

What is the Fazaa Student Card?

The Fazaa Student Card is a dependent privilege card issued under the Fazaa program, specifically for the school‑going or university‑going children of Dubai government employees who hold a primary Fazaa Gold Card. While the parent receives the Gold card, eligible students (dependents) can obtain the Fazaa Student Card, which offers discounts similar to the Fazaa Silver Card but tailored for student needs – including discounts on books, stationery, tutoring, educational supplies, and more.

The card is typically valid until the student turns 21 (or 25 if still in full‑time education). It is a physical smart card with a digital version available via the Fazaa mobile app.
