Hi everyone,

My github education pro application was approved but I haven't received the benefits yet. It's been 3 days since it got approved

HI!
The GitHub Education program, primarily through the Student Developer Pack, offers students a wide range of valuable benefits, summarized as follows:

Free Developer Tools: Get free access to premium software and services that professionals use, including cloud hosting credits (e.g., DigitalOcean, Microsoft Azure), domain names (e.g., Namecheap), and design tools.

GitHub Pro Account: Receive a free GitHub Pro account, giving you unlimited private repositories, more GitHub Actions minutes, and access to advanced collaboration features.

AI-Powered Coding Assistant: Students get a free subscription to GitHub Copilot Pro, an AI tool that helps write code faster.

Learning and Education Resources: Access free subscriptions to online learning platforms like Educative and Frontend Masters to enhance your skills in web development, data science, and more.

Real-World Experience: The program helps you build a professional portfolio by giving you the tools to create and host your own projects and collaborate on real-world assignments.

Community: Become part of the GitHub Campus Experts program to gain leadership skills or use GitHub Classroom for a better learning experience with teachers and classmates.

Hi @Chirayu18,

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

Once available, you can claim your Copilot PRO offer on this signup link.

To redeem others benefits, go to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select any offer that suits you.

In case you encounter a problem claiming any offer, I recommend you raise a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your issue.

Go to: https://github.com/settings/billing
Look under your Current plan. It should say GitHub Pro if it's been applied.
If it still says Free, your benefits may not have been applied properly.

Search your email inbox (and spam/junk folders) for:
A confirmation email from GitHub about the benefits being activated.
Emails from third-party partners (e.g., Heroku) offering access codes.

Go to https://support.github.com/contact
Choose the GitHub Education category.
Explain that your application was approved but the benefits haven't been activated after several days.
