Do not waste your time on this method; there are clearly red flags in this post. Anthropic wants **actual verified US K-12 educators** or a **real school/district with an authorized admin**. A volunteer letter or random course certificate doesn’t magically make someone eligible, and just buying a domain / registering something as a “school” doesn’t mean Anthropic will accept it either. ---
