I am writing as a verified member of the GitHub Student Developer Pack, using my official university email, yet I was denied access to your student discount plan because my country is not supported by your automated verification system.
This exclusion is deeply concerning. While I understand business limitations, restricting access to transformative AI tools based solely on geography perpetuates digital inequality—especially for students in developing countries like mine, who already face significant educational resource challenges.
Cursor is a powerful platform with great potential to empower students worldwide. However, denying access without offering manual verification options contradicts the inclusive spirit that educational technology should uphold.
I urge Cursor to reconsider its policy and implement solutions that ensure genuine students—regardless of their location—can benefit from these tools.
Thank you for your attention.
