    Hello Darol, it sounds like you’re trying to sign up for the Azure for Students Starter offer but you can’t find “Papua New Guinea” in the country/region dropdown. Unfortunately, the Student Starter offer is only available in certain supported countries/regions, and if PNG isn’t listed you won’t be able to complete that specific signup flow.

    Here are a few things you can try:

    1. Use the Azure free trial instead • Go to https://azure.microsoft.com/free and sign up for a one-month, $200 credit trial (credit card required). • After you’ve used up the trial or one month, you can convert to Pay-As-You-Go and keep using 55+ services for free (within monthly limits).
    2. Country-based availability
      • Azure subscriptions (including student offers) are tied to billing & compliance rules
      • Only supported countries appear in signup
      • If PNG is missing > Microsoft does not support direct signup there
      If a country is not listed, the offer is not available in your region. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/offer-details/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students/
    3. Sign up via GitHub Student Developer Pack (no country restriction) • If you have or can get the GitHub Student Pack, you can verify your student status through GitHub and then redeem the Azure benefit. • Instructions: – Sign in on https://signup.azure.com/studentverification?offerType=1 with “Sign in with GitHub” – Follow the steps under “Sign in using your GitHub user ID, not email address” in the docs.
    4. Open a support request to ask about adding PNG • Reach out to Azure for Education support here: https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/institutions/contact • Explain that your school (Divine Word University) uses Microsoft email addresses and you’re unable to see PNG in the list.

    Quick follow-up questions to help troubleshoot:

    1. What exact URL are you using when you try to sign up?
      1. Are you on the global (https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students/) or a localized site?
      2. Do you see any specific error messages when you search the country dropdown?

    Hope this helps! Let me know what you find out. If the information shared was helpful, please accept the answer and upvote. Thanks
