Hello Bhavin Soni, it sounds like you’ve signed up for the GitHub Student Developer Pack but haven’t seen an Azure subscription show up in the portal. Here are a few things to check and try:

Understand the two separate benefits

Azure for Students ($100 credit) This is the offer that gives you $100 in Azure credit for 12 months. You must manually redeem it by signing in with the same Microsoft account linked to GitHub and verifying your academic status.

Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (formerly MSDNAA) This comes through GitHub Education but is a separate set of developer tools (Visual Studio, server licenses, etc.), not the $100-credit subscription.

How to redeem Azure for Students via GitHub pack

Go to https://azure.microsoft.com/resources/students?activetab=pivot:githubtab

Click “Activate” and sign in with the Microsoft account tied to your GitHub Student Pack.

Complete the GitHub OAuth step to verify you’re a student.

Wait a few minutes and then refresh the Azure portal—your “Azure for Students” subscription should appear.

Common reasons you won’t see the subscription • You’ve already used an Azure free trial or Azure for Students on this Microsoft account—each offer is one-time only • You didn’t finish the GitHub OAuth verification or used a non-academic email • You’re looking under “All Subscriptions” before your account has fully refreshed (sometimes it takes 5–10 minutes)

Next steps

Double-check which email/account you used for GitHub Student Pack and make sure it’s the same one you’re signing into Azure with

If you’ve ever had any Azure subscription (free or paid) on that account, you won’t be eligible for the Azure for Students credit—only for the Dev Tools for Teaching benefit

Once activated, head to the Education Hub in the Azure portal (search for “Education”) to see both Azure for Students and Azure Dev Tools subscriptions in one place

Hope that helps! If you still don’t see it, let us know:

Hey there, Bhavin Soni

The GitHub Student Developer pack is different from the Azure Student subscription. With the GitHub developers pack, you get the following services available to you which you can see under the Experiences heading here: https://education.github.com/pack

GitHub do have additional offers, but these are not included in the Student Developer pack. For these, please scroll down to 'All offers'

If you are wanting to signup for the Azure Student subscription, please sign up for it using this link here: https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students

Please sign into your personal account, and complete the signup form. You must have an email address provided by your university and you must meet the requirements for the subscription here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/education-hub/azure-dev-tools-teaching/program-faq#azure-for-students

Hope this information helps,
Nathan
