Who is eligible for the GitHub Student Developer Pack?

Students aged 13+ enrolled in a degree or diploma granting course of study are eligible. You need:

• • Valid school-issued email address
• • Proof of current academic enrollment
• • GitHub account
• • Be at least 13 years old

How long does approval take?

Most applications are processed within 7-10 days. Some may take longer if additional verification is needed. You'll receive an email notification once your application is reviewed.

Can I apply without a .edu email address?

Yes! If you don't have a school-issued email, you can upload documents proving your enrollment, such as a transcript, student ID, or enrollment verification letter.

How many offers are included in the Student Pack?

The GitHub Student Developer Pack includes 85+ partner offers, ranging from cloud computing credits to development tools, design software, and learning resources. The exact number changes as new partners join.

What's the total value of all offers?

The combined value of all Student Pack offers exceeds $100,000. This includes software licenses, cloud credits, domain registrations, and premium service access that would normally cost thousands of dollars.

Do I need to claim all offers at once?

No, you can claim offers individually as needed. Each offer has its own redemption process and timeline. Some offers have limited availability, so it's recommended to claim valuable ones early.

My application was rejected. What should I do?

Common rejection reasons include invalid email, insufficient proof of enrollment, or being under 13. Review the rejection email, update your information, and reapply. Make sure your documents clearly show your name, school, and current enrollment status.

An offer redemption link isn't working. What now?

First, ensure you're logged into GitHub and have active Student Pack access. Clear your browser cache, try incognito mode, or contact the specific company's support team. Some offers have limited quantities and may be temporarily unavailable.

How do I renew my Student Pack access?

Student Pack access typically renews automatically while you're enrolled. If it expires, reapply through the GitHub Education portal with current enrollment verification. Renewal usually takes 1-2 weeks to process.

Which offers should I prioritize?

Start with high-value offers like JetBrains All Products Pack, DigitalOcean credits, GitHub Pro, and domain registrations. These provide immediate value for most students and have longer redemption periods.

Can I use these tools for commercial projects?

Terms vary by offer. Most allow personal and educational use, some permit commercial use, while others restrict it. Always check each offer's specific terms of service before using for commercial purposes.

What happens after I graduate?

Most offers end when your student status expires, but some provide transition discounts or extended access. Plan ahead by downloading important data and considering which tools you want to continue using professionally.
