When I created my educational plan with my school it was created ultil 2026 but today I have received an email informing that my education plan will expired in 4 weeks. Did you change the politics?

Hey @Rebeca4,
Thanks for reaching out to the community!
As a reminder, our policy has always been that student status is only valid for 2 years, and then after the 2 years if you are still a student/educator, you can re-apply.
For more information, you can check out our Help Center article here: Verify education status.

I can check on our backend that your student status was approved on July 4th 2022 so it will expire on July 4th 2024. You can re-apply here if you’re still a student via this link: https://www.figma.com/education/apply Hope this clarifies!

Hey ​@Ngoc Ho , I am working closely with Denise, happy to help!

After checking internally, you were verified as a student on 10 June 2025, so you are verified as as student until 10/06/2027. Hope this clarifies!

Hello all,

 

So sorry to activate this thread again. I figured it was better replying here than starting a duplicate thread.

 

I tried doing some research and I see from Figma’s support page on student status that universities and such have verification for two years. Bootcamps have 6 months. I’ve been taking Google’s UX Design course through Coursera since January 2024, which I assume would fall into the bootcamp category? I had to verify my student status twice now, if I recall correctly.

 

I got an email stating my plan is expiring first week of July, which is odd to me. I contacted support and they don’t seem to be helping me, and I don't know what else to do. An extra $20/month for Figma on top of Courser’s $50/month is an expense I don’t want to take on. Any advice?

Hi ​@djv, could you please check my education expiration date? Figma sent me an email saying that my access to the student plan would end in 4 weeks. I haven't finished my studies yet

Hi, 

I also received a e-mail regarding the four weeks left, but where can I reapply? The e-mail states the following: 

If you’re still in education: Verify your status to keep collaborating with your team(s). 

When I follow the link it states: You’re in! You are now verified with Figma for Education. But I did not reapply or enter new information. This is all very confusing…
