Re-verification/Repeat Application

Hi everyone,

I am trying to apply for the Github Student Developer pack. The first time I applied, it got rejected because I didn't have Billing and Two Factor Authentication setup, I have fixed them already, but subsequent applications are getting rejected, and I can't see the reasons.

Hey,

Repeated rejections are usually caused by specific technical mismatches that the automated system flags. To improve your next attempt, please verify the following:

Ensure your school ID or enrollment letter is clear, in color, and shows a current date or valid academic term.

Your GitHub billing name and profile name should match the name on your academic documents exactly.

Apply while physically on your school's campus network or using a school-issued email address if possible; using a VPN or proxy often triggers an automatic rejection.

Ensure your browser's location services are enabled, as GitHub verifies that your IP address matches the location of your school.

If you have checked all the above and still face issues, look for the specific rejection reason in the email GitHub sent you. Sharing that reason here (without personal details) will help the community give you more specific advice.

The mail I got seem ambiguous, it didn't give a specific reason rejection. I used my school ID card to attempt the verification, I snapped it directly from within the browser and it was very clear.
