Hi @AndreaGrandieri,
Once approved, you can claim your Copilot PRO offer on this signup link.
To redeem others benefits, go to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select any offer that suits you.
In case you encounter a problem claiming any offer, I recommend you raise a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your issue.
Is Github Pro free for students?
Does Github Education not give Github Copilot Pro free to students anymore?
PSA: You can get GitHub Pro as a student with a ton of free 6 month - 1 year subscriptions to various services
GitHub Student Pack Approved, But No Copilot Pro Benefit After 20 Days
How does GitKraken integrate with GitHub for students?
GitKraken integrates with GitHub by providing seamless authentication, repository management, pull request handling, and issue tracking directly within the GitKraken interface. Students simply login to GitKraken with their GitHub account to enable easy access to GitHub repositories, forking, SSH key management, and actions like creating, reviewing, and merging pull requests.
How do I get GitKraken free with the GitHub Student Developer Pack?
To unlock the GitKraken Student plan, sign up for the GitHub Student Developer Pack. Then sign up for a GitKraken account using your GitHub account or connect your existing GitKraken account to GitHub. You can either click GitKraken in the GitHub Student Developer Pack dashboard to claim your offer or claim 6 months free directly from this page. Add your payment method to ensure you don’t lose access after your free term.
Do I need to create a new GitKraken account to claim the GitHub Student Developer Pack offer?
No. You can use your existing GitKraken account and just connect it to your GitHub account to unlock the student benefits.

I just signed up for Github Education because I thought that they would be able to give Copilot Pro for free, but it looks like they only gave me the free plan? Do they give the Pro plan or the free plan?
This link shows that you get Pro with the Github Education:

I haven't seen this posted here and didn't know about this until today.
GitHub has a students page where you can sign up for GitHub student benefits. The GitHub Student Developer Pack comes with a ton of links to other services. While the bulk of these services are for software development, there are some which could be useful for those not in the field. I know quite a lot of students use Canva for their clubs and there's a free 1 year subscription to Canva Pro that can be activated at any time.
60 premium icons per month from Iconscout for 1 year
Unity Student Plan if you do game development in Unity (free as long as you're a student)
Access to a bunch of premium web development courses on various platform (under the Learn tab)
Free 1 year .me domain TLD registration with Namecheap
Lots more - check it out!
If you have an existing GitHub account with a non U-M email, you can add your U-M email to it as a secondary email and then sign up with your U-M email. If you don't have an existing GitHub account, you could sign up for one with some other email and add your U-M email to it, or just sign up with your U-M email, it shouldn't really matter as long you have a U-M email linked to your account. It says you may have to wait up to a month for approval but I got the verification within a few hours.
Hope this is helpful!
Sidenote: I've not actually used any of the other services yet, so I don't know how quick the signup process/integration is for those.
Sidenote 2: It seems the Unity Student Plan isn't listed on the GitHub page anymore, but Unity themselves still have it listed. Whatever is in this post was accurate as of the time of writing, so things may have changed by the time you're viewing this.
