OpenAI has announced an exciting opportunity for students in the U.S. and Canada—free access to ChatGPT Plus for two months. This limited-time offer allows students to use advanced AI features for academic purposes, including summarizing lecture notes, generating citations, and brainstorming essay ideas. Normally priced at $20 per month, ChatGPT Plus provides enhanced capabilities over the free version. The offer is valid from March 31 to May 31, 2025.

Eligibility for Free ChatGPT Plus

According to OpenAI: “Full and part-time students at degree-granting schools in the United States and Canada are eligible for this offer. If you don’t see your school on the student verification list, please click this link to receive further assistance from our partner. This will let you submit a request to add your school, find it by another name, or see if your school is not eligible for this offer.”

Students must verify their eligibility through SheerID, OpenAI’s verification partner. If successfully verified, users will be redirected to ChatGPT, where their account will be credited with two free months of ChatGPT Plus. Existing subscribers can also avail of this offer by following the same verification process.
