Hi everyone,

I got my GitHub Education application approved on October 19 (IST), but I still don’t have access to the GitHub Student benefits. It's been a few days now (today’s October 22, IST), and I was hoping you could help me figure out what’s going on.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,
Ansh Jain

Hi @AnshJain-Shwalia ,

When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

• Congrats! Your request for @AnshJain-Shwalia was approved and your benefits are now available.

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

For further reference you can look at these discussions: #132790 , #131665 , #132470 , #133531, #134279, #135849, #136887, #138721, #139268

And also the Student Developer Pack Application FAQs :

• How long after I submit my application will it be approved?
• How long after I’ve been approved will I receive my academic benefits?
