I tried signing up for that (I'm Dutch, so no .edu email). They just ignored my application and never got back to me.

Not Dutch, but I am working and studying in the Netherlands. I got recently the Student Pack from Github so it's possible.

Odd, I wonder why they didn't get back to me. I'm no longer a student so I can't check anymore.

Once they the education.github.com thing with a proper campaign and starter pack, they received way too many applications than they could handle.

It took them a long while to sort through the backlog, and its always increasing. My education plan was renewed just a few months before I graduated and I'd applied for it almost 8 months back, I think.

Aha, that could be the cause. Once I graduated a few months later I lost access to the student email, so I suppose that's why I never heard back.
