Unable to activate azure grant
Good morning. I am unable to activate my Azure grant for non-profit associations. The simulation site is not working and I don't know how to activate or apply the grant to my account.
Thank you for your answer

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with your query. We are sorry to hear about the issues you are facing regarding activating your Azure Credits. I see you have received the activation email. When pressing that button, it will prompt you to create your Sponsorship Subscription. See the steps as follows:
Activating Credits.
- You will be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft Nonprofit Account Credentials tied to your organization. Sign in and authenticate if prompted.
- You will be asked to create a billing account by filling out your billing information. This is standard for all Azure accounts even sponsored subscriptions. Then continue by pressing, "Next."
- After filling out your information. You will then be asked to agree to Microsoft's Privacy, terms and conditions. Check the checkboxes to agree and then click, "Sign up."
- You will be greeted by Your newly created Azure Account. If you want to check on your Azure Credits balance and usage you can login at Microsoft Azure Sponsorships | Welcome.
- Navigate back to your home directory in Azure. Then type in the top search bar "Subscriptions" click on the key. You will then see the new subscription.
You should see your Azure sponsored subscription in the Subscription's area. If you continue to have any issues, please contact Microsoft Nonprofit Support. You can reach Microsoft Nonprofit Hub | Contact Us
I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day!
