AI coding tool Cursor is now offering students a free one-year Pro subscription, including access to premium models and fast request limits.
Students can verify their status using a student email ID on Cursor's official website to avail the free Pro plan for 12 months, which will renew at the regular price unless canceled.
Existing Pro subscribers will get a refund for unused time, and the student offer will be applied immediately, granting 500 fast requests per month for premium models and unlimited slow requests.
Students can cancel anytime and retain access until the end of the billing cycle, amidst reports of OpenAI acquiring Windsurf, another AI coding tool for $3 billion, which introduced a student discount and 'Codeium AI Fellowship' program.
