Free Developer Tools for Students
The GitHub Student Developer Pack and other free student tools — what they are, eligibility, and exactly how to apply.
GitHub Student Developer Pack
200+ professional developer tools and services unlocked with one verification, combined value quoted well over $100,000.
Eligibility
- Age 13+, enrolled in a degree- or diploma-granting program
- Personal GitHub account (organization accounts don't qualify)
- School email OR dated proof of enrollment (student ID / registration letter)
How to apply
- Create/sign in to GitHub, complete your profile details fully
- Go to the pack page below, click "Get benefits", select "Student"
- Verify with your MUET email or upload proof of enrollment
- Wait for approval (up to ~72 hrs), then browse and activate offers as needed
Key benefits
- GitHub Pro free while a student
- JetBrains full IDE suite free
- DigitalOcean — $200 cloud credit for a year
- Namecheap — free domain + SSL for a year
Heads-up
As of 2026, GitHub paused new sign-ups for the free Copilot Student plan due to compute demand. Apply for the pack anyway — every other benefit is unaffected, and Copilot access may reopen.
