College students in the US can avail a free one -year Microsoft 365 membership. What is included in the package here.
It’s not like Microsoft 365 onlineWhich is free to all. Microsoft 365 individual (formerly called Office 365) includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Onenote, Outlook. You can access these apps on PC, Mac, iOS and Android. It also comes with 1TB storage space on ONEDRIVE in free membership. And before you ask, yes it includes Microsoft Copilot in desktop apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Designer, etc.
Word will auto to save your documents in Onedrive, you may want to change it. In Excel, Copilot needs to enable autosav. The Redmund company recently warned that Excel lacks accuracy in Copilot. Please note that if you have the Microsoft 365 desktop app installed, Windows 11 will soon install two fellow apps on your PC.
So, why is Microsoft 365 individual being given for free? And why only in the United States? Microsoft announces news As part of its commitment to the US government’s efforts to increase AI education in the country. This explains a lot.
Microsoft 365 is spent $ 99.99 per year per year, or $ 9.99 per month. Getting it for free can be great for students. You may want to set a reminder to cancel the membership after 12 months, otherwise you will be charged for membership on a monthly basis. If you choose to continue with Microsoft 365 after 12 months, you can do this for a discount of 50%, ie $ 4.99 per month. This offer ends on 31 October, or until the supply is final.

Users who want to claim free testing and exemption of 12-mana, Microsoft 365 students, will have to use their college or university email address to verify their student’s position. To claim the proposal, you will also have to provide a payment method, the possibility of a credit card. Existing customers can also claim the proposal, for which instructions are provided on the proposal page.
Please see the terms and conditions on Microsoft’s website for more information.
A word of advice, if you are concerned about your privacy, I recommend to use firmly Libra office Which is completely independent, is open source, supports office document formats, and available in platforms: Windows, McOS, Linux. Certainly, it lacks online features of Microsoft 365, but you cannot put a price tag on privacy.
