Who's eligible
Who can get the JetBrains Student Pack - Free for Students student discount?

Offered to students at accredited institutions worldwide. JetBrains does not publish a formal country list, and international students without a school email can verify with the GitHub Student Developer Pack or an ISIC/ITIC card.

Common questions

You get access to the complete All Products Pack, which includes IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, CLion, WebStorm, PhpStorm, RubyMine, GoLand, Rider, DataGrip, ReSharper Ultimate, and all other JetBrains tools.
Do I need to be a computer science major to qualify?
Not strictly, but JetBrains requires that your accredited program lasts longer than one year and involves programming courses or a programming-focused major. Purely non-technical programs may not qualify.
How do I renew my student license?
JetBrains sends an email reminder one week before your license expires with a renewal link. You'll need to re-verify your student status annually using the same methods (edu email, GitHub Student Pack, or ISIC/ITIC).
Can I use the student license for commercial projects?
No, the educational license is strictly for personal educational purposes only. Commercial use requires a paid commercial license.
What happens after I graduate?
You must stop using the free educational license once you're no longer a student. However, graduates are eligible for a 40% discount on personal subscriptions for up to 2 years after their free license expires.
Can I use official school documents to verify?
Yes. Alongside a school email, GitHub Student Developer Pack, and ISIC/ITIC card, JetBrains lets you upload other official proof of enrollment as a verification route.
What if I don't have an .edu email address?
You can verify through the GitHub Student Developer Pack (which has its own verification process), an ISIC/ITIC international student ID card, or other official proof of enrollment.
