How do I get the Student Github free access?

With the GitHub Student Developer Pack, you’ll enjoy 1 free month of Scrimba Pro, giving you full access to all our courses and exclusive Pro channels on Discord.


  1. Sign Up for the Student Developer Pack

  • Visit the GitHub Education benefits page at https://education.github.com/pack
  • Follow the instructions to apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack.
  • Wait for GitHub to approve your application. This process may take some time.

  1. Activate the Free Month

  • Log into Scrimba via your Github
  • If GitHub recognizes your student status, the free one-month pack will be activated.
  • There will be a yellow button "Claim free month" located in the lower left.
  • Note: If you’ve just been approved for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, it may some delay for our system to detect it.

  1. Still having issues?

  • Try logging out, and then log back in after your Student Developer back has been activated. This will trigger a fresh request to verify your student status if it's not detecting it.
  • Make sure your GitHub Student Developer Pack is active and correctly linked to your correct GitHub account.
