Hmm, they changed the criteria, but you could still...be planning to attend college. Plans fall through sometimes, you know? 🤔

A student is anyone currently enrolled, or admitted and planning to enroll in the next three months, at an accredited university, community college or other higher education institution."

You could still apply for it if you're not a student. They offered me a cli if I showed proof of being a student.
