Office 365 A1 free trial for College. please what's the Next step for full license?

[belalhasan]

Hello guys,

please help me to get a long term license of Office 365 A1. I have got a free trial for students and faculty with 5000 user per each. It would be expired by November 2020 and the payment will be needed which seems would cost me a lot. I am from Egypt and establishing a domestic school at which there is NO availability of edu.com domain. but I have my collage domain like [email protected]. Dose it useful to make me eligible and extend the license. if it is NOT, what about resellers? Could you recommend authorized resellers who can provide me with the license in a fair cost?, and how does it work? please, Is there any way to get a free access of office 365 for education?. All information regarding this issue is vague and I would be grateful if you could provide me with any advice regarding the next steps.

 

Cheers,

@belalhasan Have you tried contacting local schools to see what they do/buy from?

In the UK if you have a .sch.uk domain you automatically get the education 'package' in the form of A1 which is free.

 

If you're using a non-standard domain for Egypt, you just have to prove to Microsoft you're a real school (same with Google Suite).

 

This normally involves providing your school website address, phone number and address. They can then verify your request and allocate the required A1 licences.

While you are running trial contact Microsoft support within office 365 and asked for requirements to prove that you are a school and you can simply fulfill the requirements to get free office 365.

Thank you for your kind response.

My schoo is a vertual and only online not real school that aims to provide Microsoft Teams' services for students and teachers who don't enrolled in official schools. My idea is to be like an educational online platform that goes parrarel to governmetal traditional education. I have not get website address yet. it just a page in Facebook. In Egypt, Getting an official educational domain is a very complicated and exhausting process.

Now, my question is about my college domain, Can I submit this domain instead to get free education package? it's worth mentioning that the college is already providing O365 for their students.
