14. Onboarding
1. Cloud Solution Provider (Select between Direct and Indirect)
2. Authorized Education Partner
There are two models in CSP (Direct and Indirect) and partners can choose whichever model aligns with their business model the best
CSP Direct program requires partners to provide 1) direct customer billing and 2) direct customer support.
Direct CSP
Partners who do not provide direct billing and customer support can participate as an Indirect reseller.
Indirect CSP Reseller
All resellers who wish to offer Microsoft academic volume licensing to Qualified Educational Users must be authorized through the AEP program, and must renew their authorization annually.
If you meet the requirement (direct billing and support w/ more guidance here ), submit the inquiry form on MPN.
Get connected with a local Indirect CSP Provider in your region. Find the Indirect CSP Provider here.
Visit Microsoft Education Partner Network Portal (
Submissions are routed to the central agent for review
The local Indirect CSP provider will review and approve the partner (including the AEP authorization status)

15. Indirect CSP Provider – additional requirements in EDU
Indirect CSP Providers do not need to be Authorized Education Partners themselves in order to transact Education SKUs through Indirect CSP Resellers. However, Indirect CSP Providers are responsible to verify the Indirect Resellers as Authorized Education Partners (AEPs).
* Any partner that can transact Education SKUs directly to the end customer needs to be an AEP.
On behalf of Indirect CSP Providers that are transacting Education SKUs, Indirect CSP Provider needs to create the customer tenant on the Partner Center and tag the qualified customers as EDU once AEP verifies (more information available on the CSP EDU FAQs)
