@Dhruv Patel Greetings!

The eligibility criteria for an Azure sponsorship subscription can vary depending on the specific program or offer. However, in general, Azure sponsorships are designed to provide free or discounted Azure services to eligible organizations, such as startups, non-profits, and educational institutions.

1. Nonprofit Organizations

• Eligibility: Nonprofit organizations that meet Microsoft’s criteria for charitable status and are verified as eligible by Microsoft may qualify for an Azure Sponsorship.
• Verification: To qualify, nonprofits must usually go through the Microsoft Nonprofit Program, which includes verifying their nonprofit status.
• Documentation: Typically, the organization will need to provide documentation of its nonprofit status (e.g., a charity registration certificate).

How to Apply: Nonprofits can apply for Azure Sponsorship through the Microsoft for Nonprofits program.

2. Educational Institutions

• Eligibility: Accredited educational institutions, such as universities, colleges, and schools, can qualify for an Azure Sponsorship through Microsoft's Education Program.
• Student Access: Students may also receive free Azure credits through programs like Azure for Students (without needing a credit card) if they are verified as eligible students.

How to Apply: Educational institutions can sign up for the Microsoft Education Program or Azure for Students program. Students can register using their university email address.

3. Startups and Entrepreneurs

• Eligibility: Startups may be eligible for Azure Sponsorship through the Microsoft for Startups program. The program offers free Azure credits to startups to help them build and scale their products.
• Requirements:
  • Startups must be registered and have fewer than 5 years of operation.
    • Typically, startups must not have already raised a significant amount of funding.
      • Startups should have a valid website, a product or service in development, and be looking to grow.

Non-eligible Organizations

Some organizations or users may not be eligible for the Azure Sponsorship, including:

• For-profit companies not part of specific programs like Microsoft for Startups.
• Individuals who are not affiliated with an educational institution or nonprofit organization.
• Organizations that don’t meet Microsoft's verification or program criteria.
