Yes, it depends whether you are using a school account or not. If you do use a school account, it already counts as a non-profit organization. If you decide to set up your own seperate account and want to be considered a non-profit, you need to apply for a 501(c)3, which as stated above is a whole lot of work and a lot paperwork to fill out.
