How to Get Google’s $300 AI Deal Without Taking a Single Class
Google’s handing out 15 months of Gemini Pro + Veo 3 (aka robot butler + video godmode) — for free — if you’re a “student.”
Spoiler: You don’t need to be one. You just need to look like one. (Legally.)
This guide makes it brain-dead simple. No jargon. No scams. Just loopholes that somehow still work.
Step 1: Claim the AI Pro + Veo 3 “Student Plan”
What you get:
- Full Gemini Pro access (image, code, docs, all of it)
- Veo 3 video generation
- 2TB cloud storage
- Normally $20/month → You get 15 months free
How to grab it:
-
Go here → Google AI Student Plan
(If it says “not available,” change your Google Payments country to US/UK/JP/ID/BR. Or use a VPN like a mildly suspicious genius.) -
Click “Verify Student Status”
-
Pick your disguise:
| Option | What to Do |
|---|---|
| A) Fancy Email | Enter a real student email like [email protected] or [email protected] — you’ll get a code. Paste it. You’re in. |
| B) Proof Upload | No email? Upload a pic of your student ID, fee invoice, or enrollment letter (must be current and real-ish). Wait 1–2 days. |
-
Add a card (Visa/PayPal/etc.). It says $0 — don’t freak out. Nothing gets charged (yet).
-
Set a reminder for August 1, 2025 — because that’s when Google will yell: “PROVE YOU’RE STILL A STUDENT OR PAY FULL PRICE.”
Step 2: Get a Real Academic Email (That You’re Technically Allowed to Have)
You need an academic email to pass the check. But no one said you have to get it the “normal” way…
Option A – Free Adult-Education Colleges in the US
These schools let you sign up online for free classes (English, job skills, yoga for robots, whatever). You get a .edu email just for showing up on the internet.
| School | Email You Get | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| LACCD (Los Angeles) | @student.laccd.edu |
Apply to any free class Apply Here |
| Santa Monica College | @student.smc.edu |
Activate your account, get your email in 2 mins Guide |
| West Valley College | @mywvm.wvm.edu |
California residents only Info |
Pro tip: They don’t check if you ever open the class. Just sign up and exist.
Option B – Alumni Email (a.k.a. You Graduated, Now You’re Immortal)
If you ever graduated from a fancy uni, check their alumni site. Some still hand out free “@alumni…” emails like it’s 2009.
| School | Email You Get | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Cambridge | @cantab.ac.uk / @cantab.net |
Cambridge Alumni |
| UCL (London) | @alumni.ucl.ac.uk |
UCL Email for Life |
| Others: MIT, UCSD, etc. | Depends | Check their alumni page |
Note: You can’t fake this. They actually check your degree. Google might not, but these folks will.
Option C – “Sponsored Visitor” Emails (a.k.a. Fake Professor Energy)
If you know someone who works at a university (even a janitor with admin rights), ask them to sponsor you as a visiting researcher, speaker, or consultant. It’s free — they just fill a form.
| School | How | |
|---|---|---|
| Univ. of Maryland | @umd.edu |
Ask to be added as “Associate” Request Here |
| Univ. of Nottingham | @nottingham.ac.uk |
For guest speakers and short-term folks Request Here |
Most expire after 3–12 months, so use it while you can.
Don’t Fall for These Traps
| Fake Tip | Actual Outcome |
|---|---|
| “Join a free course on edX or Coursera!” | Nope. You’ll use your Gmail to login, no school email issued. |
| “University of the People gives you a .edu!” | False. You get a portal login, not a mailbox. |
| “Buy an EDU email from Telegram for $5!” | Enjoy your SheerID ban and maybe a surprise Google lockout. |

Final Thought
You didn’t lie. You didn’t cheat.
You just enrolled in a class you’ll never attend, uploaded a document that totally exists, or made a friend in a university department.
Google gave you 15 months of free superpowers — use them wisely.
And when the re-verification email shows up next August?
Well, just remember:
“Some doors aren’t locked — they’re just not labeled.”
