Do you want to take advantage of the full suite of Office 365 tools but don’t have the money to invest in a paid plan? We’ve got good news for you. Microsoft makes it easy for students and educators to get Office 365 completely free under Microsoft Education. If you prefer a one-time purchase, there’s also Microsoft Office for Windows and Mac targeting students. It’s called Office Home and Student 2021, and it costs $150. This version requires no subscription, but it’s expensive.
How to Get Microsoft Office 365 for Free
All you have to do to sign up for free Microsoft Office 365 as a student or a teacher is to enter your valid school email address on the official webpage and press the Get Started button.
The email address you provide must be able to receive external emails. That’s because Microsoft will send you a verification code with which you’ll access your newly created Microsoft account.
Microsoft will automatically check the eligibility of your school or university and grant access to Microsoft Office 365 tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Teams immediately.
To be eligible, your school must pay for access to Office 365 apps. Most schools already do that, especially in the Western world. Once access is granted, you can also download and install the Office applications for free on your Windows or Mac PC.
What If Your School Is Not Eligible?
If your school doesn’t pay a subscription, Microsoft will allow you to sign up for an automated verification process. Note that this verification process might take up to 30 days to be completed. That’s because some educational institutions need to be verified.
You can start a free trial period of 30 days and use the Microsoft Office suite in the meantime. If your application for Microsoft Education is not processed after the trial period expiration, feel free to contact Microsoft support.

But you can also opt to install their desktop versions. They’ll be available for the following Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
