I need to clarify which student program you're asking about: **For Vercel:** Unfortunately, Vercel doesn't offer student or non-profit discounts. All services must be paid at full price. **For v0:** v0 does have a student program, but it's currently limited to select educational institutions. The program requires a .edu email because it's only available to specific US schools at this time. To check if your school qualifies or to join the waitlist: 1. Visit https://v0.app/students 2. View the list of currently approved schools 3. If your school isn't listed, you can join the waitlist Unfortunately, there's no manual verification process available - you'll need to wait for the program to expand to your institution. For now, I recommend joining the waitlist. The more students from your school who sign up, the more likely it will be added to the approved list. BoboCode420 (@barsiman-tov-5876) · 2026-01-27 · ♥ 1 Thank you I did get that from the hours of digging found that I can only wait and sign to the waitlist However This error is what I'm getting each time I try to sign up for the waitlist [details="(attachments)"]  [/details] Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-01-28 Hey, thanks for sharing this. I'm making a PR to fix it.
