Unreal Engine Education: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Students and educators can access professional engine features and high-quality assets at no cost for non-commercial learning.
Unreal Engine Education provides students and educators with professional-grade software and digital assets to support learning and skill development.
Who it's for
This program is designed for individuals involved in the learning process. It is available to students and educators located anywhere in the world. Whether you are currently enrolled in a formal academic institution or you are an educator teaching digital skills, you qualify for this educational support.
What you get
Participants receive full access to all engine features, allowing for the creation of complex digital environments and interactive experiences. Additionally, the scheme includes access to the Quixel Megascans library. This library provides a massive collection of high-quality 3D assets that can be used to build realistic, professional-standard digital worlds without the need for manual modeling of every single object.
What it costs you
There is no cost to use these tools for non-commercial use. This means that as long as you are using the software for your studies, teaching, or other non-commercial purposes, you do not have to pay for the access.
The catch to know
It is important to understand the difference between learning and commercializing your work. While the software is free for your education, royalty fees will apply if you transition from learning to professional production and your game earns over $1M.
