# Are you a student? 

No matter what you are studying, this post is for you.

Everyone knows that hands-on experience is very important. But the cost of most tools can be overwhelming. That's why GitHub started this program seven years ago to provide the best professional-grade developer tools and training for students for **free**.

It offers a lot of tools that are very useful for developers as well as designers, analysts, etc.

But first of all, you need to verify that you are eligible for the offer. 

To be eligible for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, you must:

* Be currently enrolled in a degree or diploma-granting course of studies such as a high school, secondary school, college, university, homeschool, or similar educational institution.

* Have a verifiable school-issued email address or upload documents (school ID, class schedule, transcript, affiliation or enrollment verification letter) that prove your current student status.

* Have a GitHub user account. (Obviously!)

* Be at least 13 years old.

If you are eligible for the offer you can [get the pack.](https://education.github.com/pack) It might take few days to verify your information. Once your information is verified you will get access to tons of good dev tools and courses for free. 

So, let's take a brief look at what they offer this year,
