Can universities, high schools, faculty and students use UDK for free?
Educational institutions can use UDK under our “FREE for educational and non-commercial use” policy, even though they’re charging tuition, and we’d love to have you teaching Unreal Engine 3 as well. No license is required for faculty or students. Your students are encouraged to use UDK inside or outside of school to learn game development and for any other non-commercial purposes. If a student, for example, decides he wants to sell a game he made as a school or hobby project he is welcome to do that as well. He would need to purchase our $99 license and then pay us royalties of 25% of his earnings after the first $50,000 he makes.
