Microsoft Gives Free Year of Office 365 to US College Students

Microsoft is offering free Microsoft 365 Personal subscriptions to US college students through October 31st. The offer includes popular tools like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, plus cloud storage—all enhanced with Copilot, an AI assistant that helps with writing and analysis. The company announced this initiative at a White House meeting focused on AI in education. By limiting the offer to this timeframe, Microsoft aligns with the school year while also introducing students early to these widely-used workplace tools and cementing its role in the government's push to integrate AI into education.
