The page mixes capitalization (“Education plan” vs “Education Plan”) and is missing a frontmatter title, which can lead to inconsistent SEO/page metadata and inconsistent naming across the docs. Consider adding title: "Applying for the Education Plan" to frontmatter and using “Education Plan” consistently in the description and headings (and optionally add “the” in the H1 to match the sidebar text better).

Students can get access to Caido for free through the Education plan. You need to verify your academic status in the [Caido Dashboard](https://dashboard.caido.io); once approved, your benefit is valid for a limited time.

## Opening the Education settings

1. Go to [dashboard.caido.io](https://dashboard.caido.io) and sign in.
2. Open the **Settings** page.
3. Select the **Education** tab (alongside User, Integrations, and Policy).

You will see the education plan section where you can apply or check the status of your application.

## Submitting your application

On the Education tab, fill in the form with your **level of study** (e.g. secondary, undergraduate, graduate) and **field of study**. If your field is not in the list, choose the option to specify it manually. Then click **Submit application**.

Minor grammar/style: in prose, “e.g.” is typically followed by a comma. Consider changing “(e.g. secondary, undergraduate, graduate)” to “(e.g., secondary, undergraduate, graduate)”.

The UI message is currently in quotes; using inline code formatting improves readability and makes it clear it’s an exact string. Consider changing the quoted message to inline code (and, if it’s long, potentially a block quote).

## Verifying your email

After you submit, your application is processed. You will see **Application in progress** and a note that processing usually takes a short moment.

You will receive a verification code by email. Enter that code in the **Verification code** field and click **Submit**. If you need to start over, click **Start over** to return to the application form.

## After approval or rejection

- **Approved**: Your academic status has been verified. You now have access to Caido's Education plan for free. The benefit is valid until the date shown on the page.
- **Rejected**: Your last application was not approved. The page will show a reason (e.g. Invalid email, Not academic, or others). You can review your details and submit a new application using the form on the same page.
