Education Benefit Package Unavailable

[abdi101010]

Hi everyone,

I was verified as a student on January 6, 2025, and I received the confirmation that my benefits would be available soon. However, I haven't received access to my academic benefits yet, and it's been a few days since the verification.

Hi @abdi101010 ,

When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

• Congrats! Your request for @abdi101010 was approved and your benefits are now available.

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

And also the Student Developer Pack Application FAQs :

• How long after I submit my application will it be approved?
• How long after I’ve been approved will I receive my academic benefits?

Hi @abdi101010,

I experienced a similar situation recently, and I can understand the frustration of waiting for access to your benefits. From what I’ve seen, it can sometimes take a little extra time for the system to fully process everything after your student verification.

Here are a few things you can try:

Make sure you’re logged into the correct GitHub account that was verified.
Double-check your email, including your spam folder, to see if there are any updates or additional steps.
If it’s been more than a few days, you might want to reach out to [GitHub Education Support](https://support.github.com/) with your verification details to ensure everything is processed correctly.
