We are making some important updates to our Figma Education plan, including to our verification process.
Wednesday, September 24, 2025 Update
Figma has extended a grace period for students and educators who are in the process of reverifying their education status.
What does this mean?
- You will not lose access to your account or files on September 29.
- To keep your access uninterrupted, please complete your reverification as soon as you’re able.
If you’ve already reached out to our team, rest assured that we’re working through requests as quickly as possible and will follow up with you directly.
Thanks for your patience while we work through a high volume of inquiries. We want to make sure coursework and project deadlines are not disrupted.
Higher Education users
We are excited to be rolling out our new product, Figma Make, to the Education plan for higher education users over the next week!
In order to gain access to Figma Make, as well as maintain your current access to Education teams, higher education users will need to re-verify that they are a current student or staff member (even if you recently verified).
Please visit figma.com/education/apply to re-verify. If you don’t re-verify your status by Sept 29th, your Education teams will be converted to Starter teams and you will lose access to Professional plan features.
High School users
In order to maintain your current access to Education teams, High School users need to re-verify that they are a current student or staff member with their school domain.
Please visit figma.com/education/apply to re-verify. If you don’t re-verify your status by Sept 29th, your Education teams will be converted to Starter teams and you will lose access to Professional plan features.
Please stay tuned for any future updates regarding access to Figma Make, Figma AI and Figma Sites to High School users.
Note: Educators of all grades are welcome to sign up.
- K-12 educators who want access for themselves should select High School as their institution type when completing the application process.
- If you are not a high school educator but want to use Figma with your students, please submit an application at figma.com/education/k-12.
Bootcamp users
We are moving away from a self-verification model for bootcamp students. Instead, bootcamps will verify on behalf of their students and educators.
- If you are a current bootcamp student or educator, there is no action needed from you. Please reach out to your bootcamp directly with any questions.
- If you are a bootcamp admin, you should apply to join our list of trusted partners and verify your students directly. If your bootcamp is not approved by Sept 29th, all Education teams will be converted to Starter teams.
