Google is currently running a back-to-school promotion offering a free 1-year subscription to Google AI Plus for eligible university and college students.

This tier includes Gemini Omni, 400 GB of storage, and 2x higher usage limits.

How to get it:

Go to the link and sign in with your personal Gmail account (do not use your university Google Workspace account).

Click to verify your student status. This uses SheerID, so you will need to enter your university details and confirm via your student email address (e.g., your .ac.nz email).

Complete the checkout process.
IMPORTANT:
You are required to enter a valid credit or debit card during checkout. It will authorize for $0.00, but it will automatically renew at the standard monthly rate once the 12-month free period ends.

To avoid being charged, I highly recommend either canceling the subscription immediately after signing up (you usually keep the 12 months) or setting a calendar reminder to cancel it before the renewal date!

    Who is eligible for the student offer?
    The offer of Google AI Plus student plan is available to eligible university students aged 18–24. Both new users and students whose 2025 AI Pro trial has expired can qualify. Eligibility must be verified each year to maintain access.

    Might have helped if you had included this information from the OzB post

      As long as you are actively enrolled in a higher education institution and can verify your student status through SheerID using a valid school email address, you can claim the offer regardless of whether you are a mature student or a postgraduate.

        Can confirm, did not exclude me due to age, at least on the 400gb discount.

      Success after getting a manual verification from SheerID!

    Good to take a fees-free level 1 or 2 course to get a new StudentID, in case your old one can't be used.

    Anyone know the most low-effort way to get a student ID - easy enough to sign up and then drop out?
