General | Student Discount | How can I avail student discount on the Microsoft certifications ? How much discount will I get ?

Dear Support Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I am a current student attempting to register for the DP-900 and AI-900 certification exams. While registering, I encountered issues applying the student discount. Despite adding my .edu email to my profile and selecting “Student” under the career section, the discount is not being applied.

Could you please assist me with this issue or let me know if any additional verification is required? I’m happy to provide proof of student status if needed.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Yash,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I truly value your enthusiasm for taking an exam and fully understand the significance of utilizing the student discount to your advantage. I want to assure you that I am committed to providing you with additional information on how to apply the academic pricing.

While there isn't a direct "student verification" process within Microsoft Learn itself, I recommend updating your certification profile to clearly indicate your student status, as many certification providers and training platforms, including Microsoft, offer discounts for verified students.

To proceed with this, follow the step-by-step instructions below:

 

  1. Login to your Learn Profile and begin the interest survey.

  2. Select "Career Paths".

  3. Select "Student".

   4. Complete the rest of the Interest Survey and click "Finished" when completed. For more information, visit Student discounts | Microsoft Learn.

Once you complete the process of identifying yourself as a student, the discount will automatically reflect on the checkout page when you schedule an exam. Microsoft offers academic pricing on Microsoft Certification exams in most countries/regions (except India and China).

If you have successfully completed the student verification process, you are eligible for a 30% discount on Fundamentals exams and a 45% discount on all Role-based exams (excluding those taken in India and China). The applicable discount will be automatically applied at checkout and deducted from the original exam price.

As our goal is your best experience, please let me know if you need additional assistance, I'll be more than happy to help you.

Otherwise, if this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked.
