Benefit Activation/Waiting

Hi everyone,

My student application was officially approved on November 1st, 2026.

The dashboard states:
"Your benefits, including Partner offers, will become available after 72 hours (3 days) of your approval."

The 72-hour window has now passed (it currently shows "Submitted 3 days ago"), but my account is still stuck on the "Awaiting Benefits" status, and my GitHub Copilot access remains on the standard Free tier.

Could you please trigger a manual entitlement sync for my account so that the Student Developer Pack and Copilot benefits are unlocked?

Thank you for your assistance.

Same situation here! My application was approved, but the benefits are still stuck on "Awaiting Benefits" even though the 72-hour window has passed (as you can see in my screenshot).

Has this been resolved for you yet, or are you still waiting?
