How to use this guide
Focus on offers students can usually claim directly from the company.
Avoid pack-only offers when you need something now.
Use category hubs to narrow results to design, productivity, AI, or engineering workflows.
Questions students ask
It means the company itself handles student eligibility instead of requiring GitHub Education or a school-wide deployment path.
Not always. Some companies accept other school domains, student documents, or manual review for international students.
They can be better when you want a faster claim path or when the offer is not available through GitHub. The best option depends on the specific product.
