Great news! Google is offering a limited-time student benefit: if you have a valid .edu email address, you can get a full year of Gemini Advanced for free, worth over $240! Plus, you also get the super useful NotebookLM (AI study-note assistant) and 2TB of Google One cloud storage.

This benefit includes:

  • One year of Gemini Advanced for free (value: $20/month) with access to the strongest Gemini 1.5 Pro model, which supports a 1,000,000-token long context and handles long-form text better than GPT-4.
  • NotebookLM (AI note-taking tool): upload books, papers, and PDFs, and it will summarize, answer questions, and highlight key points—an essential tool for students and researchers.
  • Google One 2TB: store all your course files, photos, and videos, with no more Google Drive storage headaches.

Eligibility:

  • You must be a current student with a valid .edu student email. Important note: verified, it works with just an education email; real-time in-school identity verification was not required in testing.
  • According to comments from 星友, alumni emails also work.

How to apply:

  1. Visit [Google Gemini Student page](https://gemini.google/students/)
  2. Sign in to your Google account (using your regular Gmail is recommended).
  3. The system will prompt you to enter your .edu student email address, and you’ll receive a verification email after submitting.
  4. Open the verification link in your school email inbox.
  5. Once verified, you will automatically receive a one-year Gemini Advanced subscription, and activate NotebookLM & Google One 2TB storage.
