Body

I want to prove my student status and take advantage of the packages, but both of my applications have been rejected. I couldn't understand where the mistake was from the feedback either. Below are two documents I submitted as proof: one is my university fee, and the other is proof that I left the relevant city on May 15th for vacation (I was asked why I wasn't in the same city as the university).

Thanks for help.

There are a lot of people out there abusing fake student identities just to get access to very generous free benefits. I’m not saying that’s what you did, but your account may have been flagged as suspicious because of that, or there could be another reason on their side

From my own experience, I used my real name on my GitHub account, and even my username was based on my real name too (just slightly modified so it looked cooler hahaha). I also added my official university email and uploaded my student ID card as proof. That was already enough for my GitHub Student application to get accepted

Have you already done all of those things as well?
