Google AI Plus x Handshake

Google AI Plus is Google's mid-tier AI subscription that upgrades the Gemini app with more access to Google's AI models, image and video generation, Gemini built into Google apps, and 400 GB of cloud storage shareable with up to five people.

Through a partnership with Handshake, undergraduate and graduate students aged 18+ in the US and Canada get the plan free for 12 months. Create a free Handshake account and claim the offer from the banner on your homepage — activation runs through your Google account with a payment method on file with Google Play. Existing Google AI Plus subscribers, family plan members, and past Google student free-trial users aren't eligible, and the plan renews at $7.99/month after 12 months unless cancelled.
