We love free pizza and t-shirts, but most students walk right past the most valuable freebie on campus: Free Cloud Credits.
I am talking about Azure for Students. Itβs not just a trial; it's a toolkit to build your portfolio without spending a dime.
Here is why ignoring this is a career mistake:
1. Itβs $100. No Credit Card Required. π³π«
This is the biggest blocker. "What if I get charged?"
Good news: You don't. Microsoft verifies your student status via your university email. You get $100. If you use it up, the services just stop. No surprise bills.
2. Professional Tools (Not "Lite" Versions) π οΈ
You get access to the same Azure portal that Fortune 500 companies use.
- Hosting a Web App? Free.
- Training a Machine Learning model? Free.
- Need a SQL Database? Free.
- Plus 55+ always-free services.
3. The "Hiring Manager" Factor π
Degrees are the baseline; projects are the differentiator.
Telling an interviewer "I deployed this on Azure with a CI/CD pipeline" sounds infinitely better than "It works on my laptop."
