Student Benefits
Manus Campus Program: Free Credits for Students (1,000 Starter + 300 Daily)
Manus runs a Campus Program for students, alumni, and staff of qualifying institutions. Sign in with a verified .edu email for instant access: you get 1,000 starter credits, 300 free credits refreshed daily, and 1,000 bonus credits for every successful student referral, plus a chance to unlock physical Manus swag. The catch is the eligibility gate: your school has to be on Manus' participating-institution list, or your .edu email will not verify.
What this offer actually gives you
Manus is a general AI agent that completes tasks for you: it researches, builds, analyzes, and delivers finished work rather than just chatting. Campus credits spend the same way as paid credits, so the 1,000 starter credits plus 300 a day of free ones are real agent usage for coursework, research, coding projects, and side builds.
Access is instant if your institution qualifies. Sign in with a verified .edu email and the credits land right away, no invite code needed. If your .edu email refuses to verify, your school is not on the participating-institution list yet — Manus lets you request your domain be added by emailing contact@manus.im.
The referral mechanic is generous and specific. Each successful student referral adds 1,000 bonus credits, but the referee has to be a brand-new Manus user who registers through your referral link and meets the eligibility requirements. A casual signup that never verifies does not count.
This is a campus benefit, not a general free tier. It sits in the same Student Benefits family as the GitHub Copilot and iLovePDF student programs: it lasts as long as the program and your eligibility do, and there is no published end date to diary.

How does the 1,000-credit referral bonus work?
