Am I eligible for academic pricing?


Recently, many customers have been asking me how to qualify for academic pricing. To qualify for academic pricing Microsoft states you need to fit into one of these criteria:

*Education Institutions
*Administrative Offices & Boards of Education
*Full- and Part-Time Teachers, Faculty and Staff
*Students
*Public Libraries
*Public Museums
*Home-School Programs

Examples of entities not eligible for academic pricing:

*Non-accredited schools;
* Training centers
*Non-United States residents or educational facilities
*Churches
*Hospitals, Healthcare Systems, and Research Laboratories that do not meet the qualifications above
*Non-profit/charitable organizations that do not meet the qualifications above
