GitHub Pro: Free for Verified Students

GitHub Education currently lists GitHub Pro as free for verified students. The benefit is part of the broader GitHub Education program, which requires a personal GitHub account and proof of current enrollment in an eligible degree- or diploma-granting program. GitHub says applicants must be at least 13 years old and may need a verifiable school email address or accepted enrollment documentation.

After approval, students can access their GitHub Education benefits from the Education portal and Student Developer Pack. GitHub separately documents additional student resources such as partner offers and student usage allowances, but those should be treated as distinct benefits rather than assumed to be included in every Pro feature.

This listing focuses specifically on the GitHub Pro entitlement. Students should re-check their Education benefits page periodically because GitHub can re-evaluate eligibility and individual partner offers may have separate conditions. If student status expires, normal account and billing rules can apply to benefits that are no longer covered.
