$100 in Free Codex Credits for University Students in the U.S. and Canada
If you’re a university student in the United States or Canada with a crazy idea or a business idea and need capital for it (treat it as capital cause it is 👀), OpenAI is offering something genuinely useful right now: $100 in free ChatGPT credits that you can use specifically with Codex.
Codex is OpenAI’s AI coding agent inside ChatGPT. It’s built for writing code, debugging, prototyping, exploring codebases, and building AI-powered tools. Whether you’re working on a class project, a side app, a research prototype, or just trying to learn by building and breaking things, these credits give you extra room to experiment without worrying about hitting usage limits as quickly.
Who’s eligible?
Current students enrolled at degree-granting universities in the U.S. or Canada who are also residing in the U.S. or Canada when they claim the offer. One offer per student. You’ll need to verify your student status (usually with your university email) through SheerID.
How it works
Go to the official claim page: chatgpt.com/codex/students
Sign in with your ChatGPT account (a personal account is fine — it doesn’t have to be linked to your school).
Complete the student verification.
Once approved, $100 in credits (shown as 2,500 credits) are automatically added to your account for use in Codex.
Credits expire 12 months after they’re granted.
These are ChatGPT credits for Codex usage, not API credits. They extend how much you can use Codex beyond what’s included in your current plan (Free, Go, Plus, or Pro).
This is a straightforward way to get more hands-on practice with an AI coding tool while you’re still in school. If you qualify, it’s worth claiming before you forget.
