Does Github Education not give Github Copilot Pro free to students anymore?
Is there any legit way to get the GitHub Student Developer Pack after graduation?
If you're a GitHub student member, you can essentially get free access to 3.5 Sonnet and use it whatever you like
GitHub Student Pack: Is the Foundations Certification really free?

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 recently graduated and unfortunately no longer have access to my university email. My university is also around 100km away, so it's not easy to visit just to get documentation.
I really want access to the GitHub Student Developer Pack again mainly for the tools and learning resources. Is there any workaround or legit method to still get verified, maybe using an old ID card or transcript?
I'm very hyped with Claude in Copilot, and right now I'm using it as my daily model along with o1 preview for coding, now that Claude.ai is useless for me in coding, this one is a huge advantage since not only it has access to repository and files context in Github but also the usage in Claude 3.5 is almost unrestricted with o1 as fallback... what are your thoughts about this change in Github in general?
for students like me having GitHub education membership which is free if you have right proofs, this is a very huge advantage since you don't need to subscribe additional and expect rate limits, and if 3.5 is in demand, you can always choose 4o and o1 preview... crazy right
Also, considering that copilot is cheaper $10 than claude or plus, its a great deal for people along with o1 preview so the model you choose is consolidated...
I got verified for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, and I want to take the GitHub Foundations Certification since it says the exam fee is waived. However, when I'm at the PSI checkout, it looks like the fee is waived for the initial exam, but there's still a re-take fee. So, do I still need to pay, or am I missing something?
