Azure for Students eligibility issue

Hello,

 

I have an active GitHub Student Developer Pack verified until March 16, 2028.

 

I successfully connected my GitHub account to my Microsoft account.

 

When I try to activate Azure for Students (offer MS-AZR-0170P), I receive:

 

"You're not eligible for an Azure free account."

 

My Azure Portal has no subscriptions, and I have never activated Azure for Students on this Microsoft account.

 

Could you please check my eligibility and help me activate Azure for Students?

 

Thank you.

    Hi Jeyz​,

    Follow this steps to get Azure for Student Subscription.

    1. Sign Up / Login with your university email for Office 365. (

    2. After successful login using the same login credentials login the azure page. It will redirect to student verification page. (
