[Google Gives College Students 1 Year of Free Gemini: Pro in the U.S., Plus in Other Regions] Beating AI Newsflash: Google has started offering college students a full year of free Google AI paid subscriptions. Eligible college students in the U.S. can receive Google AI Pro, originally priced at $19.99/month, which includes 4x the usage quota for Gemini, 5TB of storage, and Gemini Spark. In over 140 countries outside the U.S., Google AI Plus is offered instead, with Gemini usage quotas doubled compared to the free version and 400GB of storage. To claim the free subscription, students must verify their student status and link a payment method. The offer is valid until December 31, 2026. If not canceled after the free period ends, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan. U.S. students whose Pro trial expired in 2025 are also eligible to reapply this year.
