Subject: Request to Enable Azure AI Services on Azure for Students Subscription

Dear Azure Support Team,

I am writing to request access to Azure AI services (Azure OpenAI and Microsoft Foundry) on my Azure for Students subscription.

Subscription Details:

  • Subscription Name: Azure for Students
  • Subscription ID: faed6410-5e83-4c1f-a68c-806f18360513
  • Account Name: Navneet Agarwal

Issue:

I am unable to create Azure OpenAI or Microsoft Foundry resources on my student subscription. Every region I try returns the error: 'RequestDisallowedByAzure — This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources.'

I have tried the following regions without success:

  • East US
  • East US 2
  • West US
  • North Europe
  • Southeast Asia
  • Central India

Request:

I kindly request you to enable Azure AI services (Azure OpenAI / Microsoft Foundry) on my Azure for Students subscription so I can use it for academic and learning purposes.

I am a student using this subscription for educational projects and would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Navneet Agarwal

    Azure for Students subscriptions can deploy many Azure services, but access to Azure OpenAI and Microsoft Foundry is controlled by separate eligibility, approval, and policy constraints that are not configurable from the subscription itself.

    From the provided information, Azure for Students gives credits and access to a broad set of services, but it does not guarantee availability of every AI service or every region. In particular, organizational or platform policies such as RequestDisallowedByAzure can block deployment of specific resource types or restrict regions, and these policies cannot be overridden from the portal by the subscription owner.

    For this scenario:

    1. Azure for Students can be used to deploy supported services (for example, App Service, Virtual Machines, Azure SQL, Speech, Custom Vision) as documented, but Azure OpenAI / Microsoft Foundry are not listed among the student-offer examples.
    2. The RequestDisallowedByAzure policy indicates that the platform or offer is enforcing allowed regions and/or resource types. When every tested region fails for a specific resource type, it means that resource type is not permitted for that subscription under current policies.
    3. Enabling Azure OpenAI or Microsoft Foundry on an Azure for Students subscription, or changing those platform policies, requires action by Microsoft support and/or the Azure account review/offer team; it cannot be done via self-service.

    Actionable next steps:

    1. Use Azure for Students with the services explicitly supported for the offer (for example, Azure App Service, Virtual Machines, Azure SQL, Speech, Custom Vision) for academic projects.
    2. To request review or clarification of the RequestDisallowedByAzure restriction and whether Azure OpenAI / Foundry can be enabled on this specific subscription, open a support request from the Azure portal under the Azure for Students subscription and provide the error details and subscription ID. The support and review teams are the only channels that can adjust such policies or confirm that this resource type is not available for the offer.

    If the support or review team confirms that Azure OpenAI / Foundry cannot be enabled on Azure for Students, using a different eligible subscription type (for example, a standard Pay-As-You-Go subscription that meets Azure OpenAI access requirements) would be required to deploy those resources.
