Built a Repository for Student Offers

As a student, I kept finding useful student offers randomly — sometimes through GitHub, sometimes from a friend, and sometimes from a post I happened to come across.

Free developer tools, AI tools, cloud credits, design software, premium plans, learning platforms… there are actually a lot of benefits available to students.

The problem is that they're scattered everywhere.

So I decided to put them together.

Student Offer Repository

I created an open-source GitHub repository where students can find useful offers, tools, credits, trials, and education plans in one place.

The repository currently contains 200+ listings, including:

  • Free student and education plans
  • Developer tools
  • AI tools and services
  • Cloud credits
  • Design and productivity tools
  • Learning platforms
  • GitHub Student Developer Pack benefits
  • Free trials and credits
  • Region-specific offers
  • Expired/replaced offers for reference

Not Just a List of Links

One thing I didn't want was another README containing hundreds of links with no context.

For the offers, I've tried to include the details that actually matter before signing up:

Eligibility — Who can claim it?

Region — Is it available globally or only in certain countries?

Verification — Student email, university ID, SheerID, GitHub Education, etc.

Duration — A few months, one year, or while you're a student?

Renewal — Can you renew it after it expires?

Billing — Does it require a card or automatically convert to a paid plan?

And wherever possible, I've included the official source so the information can be verified.

Why I Made It

There are some seriously useful tools available to students that many of us simply don't know about.

You might already be eligible for software or services that would normally cost money.

Instead of searching:

"Does X have a student plan?"

every time I discover a new tool, I wanted a place where I could just search one repository.

And if I'm already collecting this information for myself, I thought it might be useful to other students too.

So I made it public and open source.

It's Community Driven

I definitely won't be able to discover every student offer myself.

That's why contributions are welcome.

If you find:

  • a new student offer
  • an expired offer
  • incorrect eligibility information
  • a better official source
  • a country-specific student benefit

you can open an issue or submit a pull request.

The goal is to gradually build a reliable, community-maintained collection that students can actually use.

Check It Out

If you're a student, spend a few minutes browsing through it.

You might discover something you didn't even know you could get for free.

If it helps you, consider giving the repository a ⭐.

And if you know an offer that's missing, feel free to contribute.

Still building it. Still adding more.
