+ 1 Windsurf (formerly Codeium) gives verified students over 50% off their Pro plan, dropping the price from $15/month to roughly $6.90/month. You get the same 500 premium prompt credits and 1,500 flow action credits as full-price Pro users. The discount lasts 12 months and can be renewed up to 3 additional times (48 months total) by re-verifying your student status.
