Copilot in GitHub

Body

Dear GitHub Support Team,

Could you please let me know if GitHub offers any student discounts for the Pro tier? and I want to know what does this mean in the Payment information in settings? "Coupon 4.00 dollars off per month for 2 years" does this means that I will get pro tier for 6 dollars ?

The "$4.00 off per month" coupon in your billing settings is how GitHub provides the Student Developer Pack benefits to your account. Here's what that means for you as a student:

What You Get as a Verified Student

As part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack, you receive:

• GitHub Pro — normally $4.00/month, fully covered by the coupon ($0.00)
• GitHub Copilot — normally $10.00/month, free for verified students
• 70+ additional partner offers — free domains, cloud credits, dev tools, and more

About That Coupon

The coupon is simply the billing mechanism GitHub uses to zero out the Pro subscription cost:

$4.00 (Pro price) − $4.00 (Student coupon) = $0.00/month

You will not be charged $6.00. The coupon covers the entire cost of GitHub Pro for the duration shown (2 years from verification).

How to Verify Everything Is Set Up

1. Go to github.com/settings/billing
2. Under Plans and usage, confirm it shows GitHub Pro as your current plan
3. Go to github.com/settings/copilot to activate Copilot (it should show $0.00)
4. Visit education.github.com/pack to browse all your student benefits

Keeping Your Benefits

Important

Your student benefits last 2 years from verification. Before they expire, you can re-verify your student status to extend them. If verification lapses, you'll be notified before any charges apply.

Does your billing page currently show $0.00 as the next payment amount?

Additional Question

Is upgrading to Github Pro (not Student since they removed newer models after migrating Students into Copilot Student) remove the Github Student Developer Pack status?
