Hello Figma Community / Support Team,
I’ve been trying to apply for the Figma student plan for over 6 months, but I’m still blocked by a “Verification Limit Exceeded” error.
I’ve seen many similar topics in the community (unable to verify student status, Education Verification Failed, etc.), but none have received an answer or solution. The situation seems to create a loop with no resolution:
- SheerID confirms that my student verification is approved but tells me to contact Figma Education.
- On the Figma forum, I am told to contact SheerID and Figma Education did not respond to me yet.
This leaves students like me stuck indefinitely.
Verification details by SheerID :
- Verified email: --------------------------------------
- Request ID: 68d69e7bd0a9b854fa9315f1
- Date verified: September 26, 2025
I want to be clear: I am not trying to bypass the system. I am a student continuing my master’s in UX Design, and I can only afford the student plan. The inability to access it is blocking my studies.
My school has also confirmed that they are trying their best to resolve this issue with Figma, as other students from my program are experiencing the same problem, but unfortunately, the situation has not progressed since the beginning of my master’s degree.
I’ve already tried all recommended troubleshooting steps (clearing caches, different browsers, private/incognito mode), but the issue persists.
I am asking Figma Education to reset or manually refresh my verification so the student discount can be correctly applied. This issue has already prevented me from using Figma for 6 months, and I really need a resolution to continue my studies.
If any community member has a super solution or workaround, I would be glad to try it.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Kind regards,
Marie.
