Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

Hello,

My GitHub Education Student benefits were revoked on June 8, 2026, and my Education Benefits page says that my academic status requires reverification.

I am trying to reapply using the "Start an application" button, but instead of opening the Student Education application/reverification form, it redirects me to the GitHub Pricing page.

I am using the same GitHub account that previously had approved Student Education benefits. I do not want to purchase a GitHub plan. I only want to complete my student academic reverification.

I have screenshots showing:

1. My Education status as Revoked — Application Type: Student.
2. The "Start an application" button.
3. The redirect to the GitHub Pricing page.

Could someone please help me access the Student Education application/reverification form?

Thank you.
