Microsoft Azure

1. Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (Download Software)

Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching puts professional developer tools, software, and services in the hands of faculty and students with low-cost subscriptions from Microsoft. Students receive developer tools from Microsoft at no additional cost – everything needed to create apps, games and websites – so they can chase their dreams, create the next big breakthrough in technology, or get a head start on their career .

Formerly known as Microsoft Imagine, this subscriptions program has changed to Azure Dev Tools for Teaching. All current Imagine subscriptions have automatically transitioned to Azure Dev Tools for Teaching and have access to the same software tools they have enjoyed with Imagine.

2. Azure for Students (Cloud services)

The following Microsoft Azure benefits are available now for validated Microsoft Imagine students at no cost and no commitment, with no time limit and they do not require a payment instrument like a credit card. You can upgrade to more services later if you want, but you can start exploring the power of Microsoft Azure today at no cost.
