Get Smart for Free: ChatGPT Plus Goes Gratis for US & Canadian Students!
ChatGPT Plus subscription is free for students in the USA and Canada, just in time for finals! Normally $20 a month, students can now access premium models like GPT o1 at no cost—but only until the end of May. OpenAI will verify student status using SheerID.

Hot Take:
OpenAI has decided to play Santa early this year, gifting college students with a free pass to ChatGPT Plus, just in time for those all-nighters and caffeine-fueled cram sessions. Forget about saving for a subscription; just show them your student ID and you’re in! Looks like even AI knows the struggle of finals week. But don’t get too comfy, because this academic fairy tale ends when May does. Enjoy the ride while it lasts, scholars!
