Hello,

I am currently a high school student and I want to get the education pack. When searching my school in the Github map thingy it find and registers my high school just fine. I am stuck in the proof of academic status page. I don't really know what proof it wants me to provide. Grades? Some paper from my school? Something else?

Hi @steveiliop56, thanks for posting in GitHub Discussions!

I've gone ahead and moved this post to our GitHub Education category, as this topic may be more relevant there and might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. 😁

Hi @steveiliop56 ,

As stated in the docs, "Documents that prove your current student status include a picture of your school ID with current enrollment date, class schedule, transcript, and affiliation or enrollment verification letter."

Therefore, you can use any of the above documents as proof to apply for the Student Developer Pack, the most important thing is that the document you provide shows a current date (preferably in DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY format) that can prove your student status.

The drop down list also showed a school portal option, so I uploaded a screenshot of that. Not really sure if it will work though. I will ask my school if they provide some kind of paper.

Hey @steveiliop56 , yes, ask your school if they can provide you with any document showing a current date, the name of the school and, of course, your first and last name; also make sure you have set up your GitHub profile correctly so you can apply without being rejected.

If you encounter any problems with your application you can consult the Student Developer Pack Application FAQs & Common Rejection Reasons where you can find a lot of useful information.
