To qualify, students must confirm their eligibility as a student through UNiDAYS, and you have to sign up before April 30, 2021. Apple Music for students is normally $4.99 instead of the usual $9.99, so you'll continue on that rate once your trial is over unless you cancel.
Apple recently started offering users up to 5 months of free Apple Music in partnership with Dolly Parton and Shazam. From that report:
If you missed Shazaming the song during the Super Bowl to get the offer, you can click on the link in Parton's Twitter post or look up the song in the Shazam app which is free to download from the App Store. Apple commonly runs free Apple Music promotions, but they are usually up to four months, so tonight's offer is better than most.
