Details & Context
Google's official student offer (gemini.google/students, redeeming via one.google.com/ai-student) gives eligible US college students ages 18+ 12 months of the Google AI Pro plan free. It includes 4x higher Gemini usage limits, 5 TB of storage, Gemini Spark, and access to Gemini Omni for a year, plus the student hub with study notebooks, personalized quizzes and a performance tracker. New users and students whose 2025 AI Pro trial expired both qualify; eligibility must be re-verified each year to maintain access. A valid form of payment is required at signup, and the plan auto-renews at $19.99/month after the free year unless cancelled — set a reminder to cancel or re-verify before it charges.
