Microsoft’s Shape the Future K-12 education program
Education is core to Microsoft’s mission to empower every student on the planet to achieve more. We believe that providing your students with a platform that can grow with them is critical to long-term success and career-readiness. Microsoft is proud to work with a broad array of partners to offer the Shape the Future program to qualifying K-12 education customers for use by administrators, teachers, or students in primary or secondary schools. The Windows platform can support learners from kindergarten all the way through highly advanced technical courses with the ability to run both lightweight and robust programs.
Microsoft’s Shape the Future program allows qualifying* K-12 education institutions to purchase devices with discounted Windows licenses from Microsoft’s partners. Program prices for Windows devices are set by technology partners who supply Windows devices. By registering for the program, and establishing your institutions eligibility, you will be qualified to purchase from our partners at the Shape the Future discounted prices.
