Student license options for non accredited school. Can the school be sponsored?

[sbrundisini]

Hi,

Educational licences are given only to accredited institutions. What are the options for a start-up school (online school)  comparable to an accredited school but doesn't have the economical resources to go through the accreditation process yet, but would like to teach students Maya and its functions as part of its animation program?

I have three main questions:

a)Is it possible for the students to have a free educational license only, even if the school is not accredited?

b)Is it possible for Autodesk to collaborate with the school or sponsor the school?

c)Is there any program that can promote start-up schools? 

I own an online school and the student tuition is comparable with the cost of its license for the duration of that course. This is not sustainable and puts the start-up school on hold.

I would like to have the possibility to have a conversation with Autodesk. I have been trying to get in contact with Autodesk regarding my situation for a while, and my concerns have always been politely dodged.

Best regards,

Simone

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately I well know that link and that leads to no solution.

I don`t understand how " Authorized Academic Partners" can help me with my issue, although it resonate the best with my issue. How does that program works? Is this the path to follow?

Thank you
