Release Academic Email from deleted/lost account for Student Benefits

[sajid510]

Hello ,
I am trying to apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack on my primary account, but I am receiving an error stating that my academic email has already been used or has an existing account.
Here is what happened:
I originally started an application using my academic email on a secondary account, but I lost access to it.
I unlinked my academic email from that account from the outside, and later even tried creating a temporary fresh account with it and deleting it, but the verification system is still blocking my primary account.
Please help me manually release/revoke any education benefits or system flags tied to my academic email so I can cleanly apply on my main account.
Primary GitHub account where I want the benefits:
Lost/Secondary Account with my Academic Email Address.
Thank you for your time and assistance!
