In France, high school students do not have school email addresses. How can they benefit from the education version of Figma?

Hey there, Celine from Figma here, happy to clarify!

As part of our Education plan verification process, high school students are required to use a school-issued email address to be verified. At the moment, we’re unfortunately not able to verify accounts without a school domain, and personal email addresses aren’t eligible for Education access. There isn’t a workaround for this right now.
We know this isn’t ideal, and we really appreciate you checking in. In the meantime, students without a school-provided email can continue using the Starter plan, or upgrade to a Professional plan if they need additional features.

For more information, you can read our guide: Figma for Education.
