Yes for $399. It even says so in their online education store.
Unfortunately, Apple currently lists the upgrade in the education store for the same price as the retail upgrade. Where's the educational discount there for poor college students? That's $100 more than the price of FCP 3 Academic. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Hopefully, Apple will come to their senses and provide educational pricing that actually offers some form of savings for the FCP 4 upgrade when it comes out this summer.
