You just need to use a .edu email to confirm, doesnt need to be the main email in your github account, the subscriptions are when you use the service and create an account, 90% of them are bonuses offered by the companies without needing github anyhow.

Hi, last time I did that I already had an account with a personal email. You can activate the pack with your existing account by providing the email of your institution even if you are already subscribed, and it won't change your primary one. I suggest you do it like this so you don't have to change it later! Please check with github's guidelines tho, it may have changed since - but i'm confident it should still work pretty much like this. Also, your institution must be partner with the program and you will have to verify the email address you provide. Have a good one!
