There is already a free option of Xamarin for students.[1] Earlier there used to be a separate application process but now it is rolled into DreamSpark

There's also the "Starter Edition" for everyone else:

Thank you both, I did not know, looks like you already get it through DreamSpark that was really fast (in the case of Student).

Starter edition is pretty much useless. You may use it to "get a taste" of Xamarin, but you can't really make any useful apps with it.
