OpenAI has announced a limited-time offer making its premium subscription service, ChatGPT Plus, available for free until the end of May 2025, but only for a specific group: college students in the United States and Canada. The news was confirmed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
ChatGPT Plus typically costs $20 per month and offers several enhancements over the free plan. These include higher message limits, access to advanced reasoning models, and more robust research capabilities, all designed to support academic and professional work more efficiently. The offer provides eligible students access to these features at no cost for two months.
Who Is Eligible?
To qualify for this offer, users must be:
- A full-time or part-time student
- Enrolled in a degree-granting institution in either the U.S. or Canada
The verification process is managed through SheerID, a third-party platform commonly used for academic status verification. Students will need to confirm their eligibility by visiting the official offer page and completing the verification process through SheerID.
How to Redeem the Offer
- Visit the official promotion link provided by OpenAI.
- Verify student status through SheerID’s platform.
- Once verified, users will be redirected to ChatGPT to claim their free ChatGPT Plus subscription.
- If a student is already subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, their account will receive a two-month credit, effectively giving them the subscription free for that period.
OpenAI has not specified whether this offer will be extended to other countries or groups in the future. The promotion is part of OpenAI’s broader push to expand the reach of its AI tools in educational settings and provide students with greater access to advanced digital resources. For full details and to access the offer, students are encouraged to visit OpenAI’s website.
