Google announces a promotion giving eligible college students a free year of its AI subscription plan, with specific offers varying by country. In the United States, students can get a year of Google AI Pro, typically priced at $19.99 per month. Google also offers a different free-year option for students outside the U.S.
Across the coverage, the deals include higher Gemini usage limits, access to Gemini features, and cloud storage. The U.S. AI Pro offer is described as including 4x higher usage limits in Gemini, access to Gemini Spark, Gemini integration in apps such as Gmail and Google Docs, and 5TB of storage. Students outside the U.S. receiving a free year of AI Plus get 4x higher usage limits in Gemini and 400GB of storage.
The outlets also describe additional student-focused tools included in Google’s Gemini “student hub,” such as study notebooks, quizzes, and study plans, as well as education-related capabilities in Google Search and app experiences. Google states sign-ups are available through December 31, 2026, and student verification is required. Some coverage also notes a discounted bundle option that pairs AI Pro with YouTube Premium in the U.S.
