Hello Figma Community & Education Team,

 

I am a Computer Science student from Sudan. Due to the ongoing war, our university has suspended operations and we were displaced outside Sudan. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a current student card or portal access because the university has not yet set up an online system for us to continue our studies.

 

I have been using Figma since 2020 and have spent over five years improving my design skills on the platform. The Education Plan has been essential to my learning journey. At this time, I cannot afford a paid plan, and losing access would be a huge setback.

 

I kindly ask if the Figma Education Team could consider my situation and help me keep my Education Plan active. I am happy to provide my student number or any alternative proof of enrollment available.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi ​@Alaa Alfaki,

 

I understand that you’re having trouble with student verification since you’re unable to provide school-issued documentation.

I want to reassure you that we’ve extended the grace period for the verification cycle, so you won’t lose access to your account or files on September 29. You can find more details here:

 Updates to our Figma Education plan.

Regarding student verification, unfortunately, due to security and privacy reasons, we’re not able to assist with this kind of request here in the forum.

The best next step would be to reach out directly to our Education team at education@figma.com. They review requests in the order they’re received.

 

Thanks for your understanding.
