Hey, thanks for the feature request. Good news: we recently launched the Campus Community program, and educators and researchers can now request credits via a separate form.
Details here: New Campus Community Launches
Educator and researcher credits request form: Request Credits for Academic Work
There’s also the campus newsletter: Join Cursor's Campus Newsletter
It gives early access to events, discounts, and classroom materials.
One note: we’re ending the legacy student discount for new sign-ups since it became a fraud target, so the main path now is credits and program events above. Let me know if you have any questions about the form.
