Request for Student Credits on Microsoft Azure

karima er-remyty 0

Dear Microsoft Azure Support Team,

My name is er-remyty karima, and I am a student at the Faculty of Sciences Semlalia, Cadi Ayyad University, in Marrakech, Morocco.

I am currently studying artificial intelligence, and I would like to request access to the Microsoft Azure student credits as part of the Azure for Students program.

Could you please guide me through the process or let me know what documentation you require to verify my student status?

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Best regards, er-remyty karima Faculty of Sciences Semlalia – Cadi Ayyad University Marrakech, Morocco

Hello karima er-remyty,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your interest in the Azure for Students program it’s a great way to start exploring cloud technologies while studying AI.

You don’t need to email support to get student credits; you can self-activate your Azure for Students account by following these steps:

Go to the Azure for Students page and click Activate or Start free.

Sign in with your personal Microsoft account (not your university account) this helps avoid domain or tenant restrictions.

Verify your student status using your university-issued email (for example, @uca.ac.ma).

If automatic verification doesn’t work, you can complete a manual SheerID verification by uploading proof such as your student ID or an enrollment certificate showing your name, university, and current term.

Alternative option: If you face verification issues, you can also sign up through GitHub’s Student Developer Pack, which links directly to Azure’s student benefits.

Once verified, you’ll immediately receive $100 in free Azure credits (valid for 12 months) no credit card required. You’ll also get access to 25+ free services, including compute, storage, AI, and databases.

When your credits expire after a year, you can renew annually as long as you’re still a verified student.

If your verification email doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder or ensure your university’s email system allows messages from SheerID or Microsoft domains. For further help, you can review the official Azure for Students FAQ.

Hope this helps you get started smoothly. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
