+ 1 Cloudflare gives US university students with a .edu email one full year of the Workers Paid plan at no cost (normally $5/month). This includes massively upgraded limits on Workers, KV, Durable Objects, and more compared to the free tier. If you're building serverless apps, APIs, or AI-powered tools on the edge, this is a solid deal.
