That exactly it. Although I'm still not clear on the difference between the 072 and 073 exams the Prometric website says:
If you belong to an academic institution, join the Microsoft IT Academy program, an alliance that provides students with a premium education on cutting-edge Microsoft technologies.
I got that text from this site: https://www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/Microsoft/pages/landing.aspx
