Google is making its top AI models available free for US college students from now until the end of the 2025-26 academic year.The offer includes free access to Gemini Advanced, NotebookLM Plus, Whisk, and 2TB of Google storage. Students must sign up by June 30, 2025, verify their student status, and reverify their student status in the Fall of 2025 to continue for the 2025-26 academic year.

Note that students will have to use this when on a personal Gmail account, not their UMBC Gmail account. This means you are subject to the terms and conditions Google has decided, not the ones the state and UMBC have worked out, which protect your personal data and limit its use in training. If you do not cancel, you will be charged when the free trial offer ends on August 31, 2026.
