Github Student Developer Pack
I wanted to share this for any students who may be unaware of this awesome free resource. Github Student Developer Pack. All you have do is signup with an .edu email address. You do not have to be enrolled in a computer science program.
Signing up gets you access to:
Free AWS Educate Starter Account for GitHub Students, worth $100
Free access to 25+ Microsoft Azure cloud services plus $100 in Azure credit
1 year SSL certificate + 1 year domain name registration on the .me TLD through NameCheap
Polypane free for 1 year
$50 in platform credit for new users
A free license for Bootstrap Studio while you are a student
$200 in MongoDB Atlas Credits, plus access to MongoDB Compass and MongoDB University
Free 6-months access to all courses and workshops
Heroku - One free Hobby Dyno for up to two years
and honestly SO much more.
I've been in the GSDP for about a year now and honestly forgot how many awesome resources are associated with it until today when I was looking to see if there was a student discount to Frontend Masters.

Yea, I didn't know about the Frontend Masters offer and one of my friends pointed it out to me and it's honestly the best thing the pack has to offer. The courses are really good

will those 3 months or 6 months or 1-year subscriptions start automatically as soon as I as I get the github developer student pack or do I have the option to start them whenever I want?

u/AnimeshRy Jun 03 '21
Yeah but about a year later you'll have to give your university credentials again to verify

Ok, thanks. The reactivation of the pack generally doesn't take a long time, right?

u/AnimeshRy Jun 03 '21
Almost the same as the first time you enrolled for the pack

u/Shubham_Garg123 Jun 03 '21
Ok, that's cool. I applied for it like 2 minutes ago and now I have github pro activated (checked in Billings and plans settings). No idea how to use other stuff though

u/AnimeshRy Jun 03 '21
Sweet!. It took about a week as I didn't have my college email at that time. Go here and use all the benefits.

Is "Free AWS Educate Starter Account for GitHub Students, worth $100" still part of the GitHub Educational pack because I don't see it in the list anymore ?

Such a shame I've burnt out my 6 month trial of Frontend Masters.

For some of the deals you can disconnect your github account and recconect it for another 6 months. Not sure if it works for Frontend Masters though.

Anyone got this working with a bought email address? I am a self taught student and would love the 6 months frontend masters.

A .edu e-mail address is no longer a requirement. Your school e-mail address is checked against a list of institutions. Some people get asked to provide confirmation they are enrolled in school even with a valid school e-mail.
I was lucky and didn't get asked but I had already download a confirmation letter from my school.

6 month free access to Frontend Masters is probably the best thing in the the whole pack.
