Google is introducing new study tools to help students with their schoolwork. The company is offering eligible college students in the US a free year of Google AI Pro, which includes premium features such as Gemini Spark, 5TB of cloud storage, and higher usage limits. International students can receive Google AI Plus for free, which offers twice the Gemini usage limits, Gemini Omni, and 400GB of storage.

The new study tools include a dedicated student hub in Gemini, where students can collect research, create flashcards, take practice quizzes, and more. According to Android Authority, Google Search is also being enhanced with educational features, such as step-by-step coaching via Lens, custom study guide generation, and expanded practice quizzes for standardized tests like the SAT.

Additionally, Gemini is getting interactive 3D visualizations and Deep Research, which allows students to generate complicated research reports and discuss the results.

Google is also offering student discounts on a bundle combining Google AI Pro with YouTube Premium, with savings of up to 70% depending on the market and offer, as per Tom's Guide. Students have until December 31, 2026, to redeem the offer, and the free plans will automatically become paid subscriptions after the 12-month period unless cancelled. To take advantage of the offer, students need to verify their student status through SheerID and provide a valid payment method when signing up.
