In the past - and it was a while ago - they were actually quite good about supporting educational efforts, even those that fell outside their educational discount. My impression is that it was done on a case by case basis, and while I didn't own the company<G>, I always thought it would be good to formalize it, but perhaps that would have limited their flexibility.
I'm old enough to remember when technology companies all but gave away their products to students. It still goes on, but on a much reduced scale. In those days it wasn't uncommon for a student to enter the workforce with clear biases towards - you guessed it - products with which they were familiar. Go figure!
It is absolutely worth the cost of an email.
PS - I've done the same thing with tools for theatrical production in the recent past. I think company size plays a role, but the developers I spoke with were pretty enthusiastic about getting their tools in front of students!
