for 12 months at no cost, while students in more than 140 markets outside the US can access a free year of Google AI Plus alongside new

and Google Search, including diagnostic quizzes, AI-generated learning plans, interactive visuals, notebooks and step-by-step support through Lens.

Both offers must be redeemed by December 31, 2026. A valid payment method is required at sign-up, and the plans automatically move to paid subscriptions unless canceled.
