Score Free Microsoft Office 365 for Your School!

Students and teachers rejoice! Microsoft offers a free version of Office 365 specifically for schools. This means you can access familiar apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, along with some bonus tools, without spending a dime.

Here’s the good news:

• It’s completely free: No hidden fees, no subscriptions – just free access for eligible institutions.
• Packed with essentials: Get all the core Office applications to create, edit, and collaborate on documents, presentations, and spreadsheets.
• Bonus features: On top of the classics, you’ll also get access to Microsoft Teams for communication and collaboration, and additional classroom tools.
• Always up-to-date: With the cloud-based version, you’ll always have the latest features and bug fixes.

How to get it?

Schools can sign up for Microsoft 365 Education using their school email address. Check with your school’s IT department to see if they’ve already activated this free program. If not, they can handle the sign-up process.

Is there a catch?

There are actually two different free tiers:

• The basic tier provides access to the core Office applications and some online tools.
• Schools can also choose to upgrade to a paid plan for additional features like increased security and management options.

But the good news is, that even the basic tier offers a ton of value for classrooms, making Microsoft Office 365 an incredible resource for learning and productivity, completely free of charge.
