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:

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.

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