I have got 75 dollars and 1 years of free tier uses in amazon awseducate. it is called amazon aws student starter pack. I created only one ec2 instance and one rds in free tier. But Amazon is charging from the 75 dollars every day. Even I cannot issue a support ticket. Because student account can't create a support ticket.

Having the free tier doesn't mean everything is free - there are certain products, and certain levels of products that are free - if you use products or services outside the designated free options, you will need to pay - sometimes a lot.
For example, you can use 1 free ec2 instance of the t2 type free for a year (I believe its only the t2-small).
If you spin up a d2.8xlarge instead, and leave it running all year you will have a bill of almost $50K - so pay attention to what is free and what you are using; check your bill often, and contact aws support on their support forums or at the /r/aws forum on reddit.
The answer is the aws educate doesnt support free tier.Most student get confused about support ticket because aws support ticket is blocked from account console. But there is another ink for awseducate support. I dont know why they make two support service different here is the link https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/contact-us/

One year ago I have created an AWS free trial account and I haven't used it yet. Will it charge anything? Now I have suspended my account by myself. Will it be a problem? Can I create a new AWS account now with the same email or credit card details?
Understand the AWS Free Tier
The AWS Free Tier provides customers the ability to explore and try out AWS services free of charge up to specified limits for each service. The Free Tier is comprised of three different types of offerings, a 12-month Free Tier, an Always Free offer, and short term trials. Services with a 12-month Free Tier allow customers to use the product for free up to specified limits for one year from the date the account was created.
More information about Free tier can be found here: AWS Free Tier FAQs
If you did not use any of the services, or if you terminated/removed your resources before the end of the free trial and did not you didn't exceed the free tier limits you won'`t be charged.
Can I use the same email twice?
AWS does not allow the same email id across more than one AWS accounts, even if you close the AWS account associated with the email id. You can reopen your account following this doc Can I reopen my closed AWS account
Can I use my credit card in different accounts?
For the credit card, you will not have problems to use with multiple AWS accounts.
If you need help you can try to contact the AWS support here.

I recently found out through aws support that if your Organization's Root account is not within the free tier, then the attached account to the root account is also not eligible for free-tier unless it is stand-alone(the attached account are a new account and eligible for free tier).
Now my query is if I create a new account then make it an Organization's Root account and associate account eligible for free tier to the Organization. Will I be eligible for AWS free tier?
In the AWS documentation the below is stated:
If your company creates your AWS account through AWS Organizations, AWS Free Tier eligibility for all member accounts begins on the day that the master account of the organization is created.
This means that if your Organization master account was created further than 12 months ago there will be no free tier access. The usage itself is distributed across the entire Organization.
To calculate the Organization’s use of AWS Services under any Offers, we will aggregate the usage across all accounts in the Organization.
If any stand alone accounts have already used their free tier, when the account is attached to the Organization the entire Organization will no longer have free-tier.

I am very new to technology world. I want to host a website on AWS free tier as I dont have budget right now but I am not getting what their free tier is offering since they are using a bit more technical terms for their components.
Can anybody help me here.
My website will be running on java, postgres, spring etc
The AWS Free Usage Tier is designed to allow people to evaluate AWS services. It is not intended for running free websites.
If you want a low-cost means of running a website, take a look at Amazon Lightsail. It has low-priced options with various components combined in the price.
I will just extend John's answer
I want to host a website on AWS free tier
Free tier is intended to evaluate services and easy/low cost startup. For many services (lambda, iot,..) the free tear is pretty much generous, however for EC2 (virtual server) it's limited in terms of resources and time (aws free tear includes a single t2.micro instance for a year)
Be aware the big cloud providers (AWS, Google, Azure, IBM) are not really the cheapest, however you got a lot of values around provided (feature services, resources, geological availability, reliability, security, etc)
You can start small, but not really free in long run.
My website will be running on java, postgres, spring etc
In theory you could try to fit it all into a free tear t2.micro instance, but then don't expect much of performance. Java needs som RAM space and DB as well.
Although this is not answering your question on AWS free tier, if you want a service which is a bit generous on free tier till you get funds to run the website, use Google Cloud. It give $300, with limits to 8 vCPUs you can spin up per region. AWS will give only 1 vCPU for 750 hours for a year.

I tried to create account on aws.amazon.com. But it needs credit card information to complete the login process.
As I do not intend to use AWS for any commercial purpose but for academic/self-learning purpose, is there way to create a trial account ( probably a limited version say limited functionalities or limited time period )
There is no such thing as a 'free' AWS account. All accounts are full, production accounts. You will always need to provide a credit card to use AWS (or sign-up for invoicing). If you wish to try some AWS service, you can take advantage of the Free Usage Tier.
The AWS Free Usage Tier provides a limited quantity of some AWS services at no charge. When you exceed the quantity of usage (eg hours of an Amazon EC2 t2.micro instance, amount of storage in Amazon S3), then you will be charged normal rates for the service.
although this is an old question but it will help someone. So If you are a student or educator AWS also provide credits for hands-on experience with AWS technology, training, content, career pathways and the AWS Educate job board.
You can join from below link
AWS Educate
The new AWS Educate Starter Account requires no credit card to join.
Now you can create an AWS account using a debit card(debit card is easy to get). I created an AWS account with my debit card. I wrote a blog about this topic.
Create AWS account without a credit card. Hope it will help someone.
You can use your debit card to create your free tier account. They basically charge you Rs.2 and that will be refunded once your account is created. You no more need to have a credit card in specific. Then again there needs to be some payment method linked to your account.

I need a place to host a small basic static web site made up of a bunch of file and folders (html, css, images, etc.) for a non-profit. I've looked at Amazon AWS a bit and it looks like it could be done for a very small cost.
Is it really possible to host a web site At Amazon AWS for under a $1.00/month?
Is there any way to use the free AWS and then determine what the cost would have been if one used the paid option?

If you just have static files, then you can definitely host the site on S3 for a very low price. If you have a dynamic website (PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, etc.) then you will need an actual server to run that on, and it will be more like $5 a month minimum.
Note that you will pay for data transfer, so if your site gets very popular the price could start to go up.

would have been if one used the paid option?
You can enable detailed billing on the AWS account. Then you could punch those numbers into the AWS cost calculator to see what the charges would have been if you were not in your free tier period.

It is possible for 1$/Month in AWS but your usage and traffic has to be less. Free tier is available but it is available for one year only and following are the resources available in free tier https://aws.amazon.com/free/.
You can also refer this which gives approximation. http://www.hostingadvice.com/how-to/aws-s3-pricing/

You can calculate this cost at https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
Also you stated in your question it is non-profit. So AWS provides $2000 credits for non-profits.
