Lots of Free Stuff Via Github for Students

zekiel218 · Oct 12, 2014

Hey guys, just want to say hat Github just recently offers their Student Development Pack which includes a bunch of goodies including:

$100 in DigitalOcean credit (can be used even if you've used other promos) * Note that new accounts need a Credit Card or $5 deposit via PayPal for the promo code to apply.
Free .me domain name and SSL certificate from NameCheap
Free DNS management from DNSimple
Free BitNami access on Business 3 account
No transaction fees for first $1,000 in revenue through Stripe
Your GitHub account gets upgraded to a Micro account allowing private repositories
Unreal Engine access worth $19/month

And there is more on the page (https://education.github.com/pack).

You need to have a .edu email in a degree or diploma course, I just signed up with my edu.au email and got full access.
Might not be for all people, but it's very handy for me and I'm sure some others. The $100 DigitalOcean credit is extremely nice.

Enjoy

Can you give us more details about how you got your .edu email?

Says you need:

All you need is a school-issued email address, valid student identification card, or other official proof of enrollment

This is an old thread.
Being a Jr. VIP doesn't mean you can sell outside of the marketplace.
