How to get the GitHub Student Developer Pack without a student ID

The GitHub Student Developer Pack provides free access to industry-standard developer tools for students aged 13 and older in degree-granting programs. To apply, students typically use a school-issued email for verification, but alternative documentation such as a student ID or a letter on school letterhead can also be submitted if a school email is unavailable. The application process is designed to be straightforward while protecting against misuse, with a review period that generally takes up to two weeks. If an application is rejected, GitHub encourages resubmission with clearer or additional documentation. The Pack seeks to support students globally, and GitHub continues to work on improving accessibility and usability of the Pack for all eligible students.
