Details & Context
Figma's education plan issues free professional-tier access to Figma and FigJam, including Dev Mode, to verified students and educators. Verification runs through the official apply flow — a student or educator email plus enrollment proof — and seats stay free while you're enrolled. For districts, Figma maintains K-12 and Google Workspace integrations so schools can provision seats in bulk without individual signups.
