Hi everyone,

I Submitted my Education App 2 days ago & immediately got accepted. It keeps saying that my benefits would be available soon. How long do i have to wait?

Hi, @Juzcallmekaushik. It usually takes a few days for the benefits to be activated. If it’s been more than a week, consider reaching out to GitHub support.

Hi @Juzcallmekaushik ,

The waiting time may vary depending on different factors, such as the volume of requests; it usually takes a few days, but sometimes it can take a little longer, even a couple of weeks.

When the benefits become available, the status label will turn purple and change to:

• Congrats! Your request for @Juzcallmekaushik was approved and your benefits are now available.

• How long after I submit my application will it be approved?
• How long after I’ve been approved will I receive my academic benefits?
