Get GitHub Education Verification for Free Copilot Access

· 1 min read

The better AI code assistance tools are Cursor/GitHub Copilot/JB’s AI Assistant. Due to cost considerations, I only subscribe to ChatGPT, but I still need an AI tool for JetBrains IDEs. I decided to use my student identity to get GitHub education verification for free Copilot access.

Application

Application URL: https://education.github.com/pack

Just fill in according to the official requirements.

Notes

  1. Your GitHub account email doesn’t need to be .edu - as long as identity verification is OK
  2. During the entire GitHub student verification process, do not use proxies (except for Bing Maps, mentioned below) and keep location permissions enabled for GitHub (required)

For a complete application guide, I recommend reading this article contributed by a community member.

If the review is fast, you’ll receive an email with results the same day. Then within a few days, you’ll receive GitHub Pro membership and Copilot.

Other Education Verification Benefits

There are many other benefits from education verification, not just limited to GitHub.

For example:

  1. JetBrains
  2. Notion
  3. Axure
