I recently heard that Figma make is now free for edu plan users. I do have an edu account made specially for that but why isn’t Figma make not accessible to me still? I want to use it as a practicing product designer!
Hi there! I checked on the backend using the Figma email account linked to your Forum profile (maxxxxx0@gxxxxl.xxm), and it looks like you don’t currently have an Education plan.
Figma Make is available to most Education team users. If you are on an Education team and don’t have access to Figma Make, it is because of one of the following reasons:
- You are a high school user. High school students and educators do not have access to Figma Make.
- You have not yet reverified your education status. In order to access Figma Make, Education team members must complete the updated verification process.
Hope this helps!

Hello Celine_
I’m currently using the Figma Education Plan as a student enrolled at the Interaction Design Foundation. I received an email about verifying my educational status, but I’m unsure whether IDF qualifies as a bootcamp or another eligible institution.
I don't seem to have the option to self-verify on my end. Do you know if anyone in a similar situation (e.g., enrolled in IDF) has been able to complete the verification successfully? Or do you
know if this platform qualifies?
Would really appreciate any guidance—thanks in advance!
Hey
If your bootcamp isn’t yet verified with Figma, they’ll need to apply through this form: Bootcamp Application Form. Hope this clarifies!
Thanks!
Hey
For your case, if you have been verified before August 27, 2025, you'll need to reverify your education status using the updated process. All Education teams verified prior to that date must complete reverification by September 29, 2025 to maintain access to Professional plan features, including Figma Make. (More information in our guide: Figma for Education)
Here's exactly what you need to do to reverify:
- Log in to Figma using the account you want to verify (preferably with your school-issued email)
- Visit https://www.figma.com/education/apply
- Select Higher Ed as your institution type
- Agree to the terms of service
- Select Submit
- Complete the SheerID form with your school and personal details (read more)
SheerID will email you within a few days to confirm your eligibility. If they're unable to verify you, you can contact the SheerID support team for assistance. (read more)
Once you complete this reverification process, you should regain access to Figma Make and all other Professional plan features. Hope this clarifies!
