Short answer: The GitHub Student Developer Pack is free for verified students and unlocks 100+ developer tools, cloud credits and a free domain. To get it, verify your student status with a school email or an enrollment document, then activate the offers you want.
If you are a coding student, the GitHub Student Developer Pack is the single highest-value perk you can claim. One application unlocks free access to more than 100 developer tools, cloud credits, free domains and premium learning platforms. Here is how it works.
What do you get with the pack?
The pack bundles partner offers that would normally cost hundreds of dollars: cloud hosting credits, a free domain name for a year, professional JetBrains IDEs, design tools like Canva Pro, and much more. New offers are added regularly, so it is worth checking back.
Who is eligible?
You need to be enrolled at a degree- or diploma-granting school and be old enough to have a GitHub account. You will also need proof of your student status, such as a school-issued email address or a photo of your student ID or enrollment document.
How do you apply, step by step?
- Create a free GitHub account if you do not have one.
- Add your school email address to the account and verify it.
- Go to the Student Developer Pack page and choose to apply as a student.
- Confirm your school and upload proof of enrollment if asked.
- Wait for approval, which can be instant or take a few days.
How can you get approved faster?
Use your school email wherever possible during verification, as it speeds up approval. Once approved, explore each offer and only activate the ones you will actually use. Ready to start? See the pack and other student deals on our software page.
