Google is gifting a year of Gemini Advanced to every college student ...
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has set a goal for the company to reach 500 million Gemini users by the end of 2025. To help achieve this goal, Google is offering a free year of Gemini Advanced to all US college students. This offer is not just for a limited time — students can enjoy the benefits of Gemini Advanced for an entire year.
What is Gemini Advanced?
With Gemini Advanced, students will have access to the more capable Pro models and unlimited use of the Deep Research tool. Additionally, subscribers will receive other AI tools such as the Veo 2 video generator, NotebookLM, and Gemini Live. This offer is part of the Google One AI Premium plan, which includes premium AI models, Gemini features in Google Drive, and 2TB of Drive storage.
How to Claim the Offer
Eligible students can sign up for the free Google One AI Premium plan by visiting the landing page. The offer is valid until June 30, and students who enroll can enjoy the free plan until spring 2026. Google's aim is to provide students with access to Gemini Advanced for an entire school year.
Who Qualifies for the Offer?
Google has made it easy for students to qualify for the promotion. As long as you have a valid .edu email address, you can take advantage of the offer. Even individuals who are not currently enrolled in classes but have a valid .edu email are eligible for the free Google One AI Premium plan.
While Google has been a pioneer in large language models (LLMs), it has faced challenges in gaining traction with Gemini in comparison to competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Despite the growing popularity of generative AI, Google is determined to promote Gemini and is offering free access to premium AI tools to encourage adoption among users.
Google's Push for Gemini
As generative AI becomes more integrated into society, Google's move to provide its best AI products, such as Gemini Advanced, to college students demonstrates its commitment to staying competitive in the AI landscape.
