In a statement, Google announced that students and universities worldwide will receive one year of free access to the advanced Gemini Pro plan, its most powerful suite of AI learning tools yet. This move aims to make learning smarter, more personalized, and accessible to everyone.
AI study partner, cloud storage, and smart search
The Gemini Pro plan gives students access to Google’s top AI models, including Gemini 2.5 Pro and DeepResearch. These can help explain complex concepts, assist with writing and analysis, and even create custom study materials.
Learners also get 2TB of Google Cloud Storage, ensuring their projects, notes, and papers are securely saved and accessible anywhere. The AI Mode in Google Search now lets users upload videos and PDFs to summarize lessons or extract key ideas—turning lengthy materials into quick, understandable insights.
Learning reimagined with Gemini and NotebookLM
The upgrade extends to tools like Gemini and NotebookLM, both enhanced for academic use. Gemini can now transform class notes into digital flashcards, study guides, and even dynamic project videos using Veo 3 Fast.
Meanwhile, NotebookLM’s new features, such as Featured Notebooks and Video Overviews, make it easy to connect insights across multiple sources—ideal for research-heavy subjects. Plus, it’s now open to users under 18, empowering high schoolers to start developing strong study and research habits early. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
