Education Grant License

The Unity Education Grant License (‘EGL”) gives qualifying institutions multi-seat access to the educational version of Unity's real-time 3D development tool compatible with institutional computers and servers at no cost.* It is available globally for institutions that qualify subject to the Grant Limit (see Section B below). Unity reserves the right to determine whether an institution qualifies for eligibility for EGL. The EGL is used for learning, teaching, training and empowers students to create immersive experiences for any industry.

A. Institutions that qualify for EGL

Institutions that qualify for EGL include:

   2. Accredited public or private elementary and/or secondary schools providing full-time instruction for grades (levels) anywhere from kindergarten up to 12 (any, a “School”**).
