Gemini Advanced and NotebookLM Plus Now Free for Students Through 2026, with 2TB Cloud Storage Included

Gemini Advanced, the AI service bundled with the Google One AI Premium plan, is now available for free to U.S. college students for a full year. As part of a special promotion, students can claim 15 months of free access to Gemini Advanced. This move comes as Google looks to compete with OpenAI’s recent initiative to offer two months of ChatGPT Plus for students in the U.S. Along with Gemini Advanced, students will also gain access to 2TB of cloud storage for Google products on their personal accounts, alongside other Gemini AI features.

The offer is currently limited to students in the U.S. who are enrolled in college. According to details shared on the Google Gemini website, students can claim the promotion until June 30. This offer allows them to experience a wide array of AI tools without the usual cost. If a student has already subscribed to the Google One AI Premium plan, they will need to cancel their subscription and wait until the next billing cycle to claim the offer. For students interested in claiming the benefits, they must use an email address ending in “.edu,” which is provided to students by U.S. colleges to verify eligibility.

Once students claim the offer, they will receive access to Gemini Advanced (featuring Gemini 2.5 Pro), Notebook LM Plus (for research), Whisk (for image and animation generation), and Veo 2 (for video generation). In addition to these AI tools, students will also be able to use Gemini’s features across Google Workspace apps, enhancing productivity and creativity in their academic work.

The promotion includes a generous 2TB of cloud storage, which will be activated on a student’s personal Google account once they sign up and verify their eligibility. These benefits will remain available to students until “spring 2026,” giving them several years of access to cutting-edge AI tools and ample storage for their academic needs.
