Microsoft 365 will be free for a year if you're a college student

You'll have to pay later, but not as much as other users.

Say what you will about America's tech titans cozying up to the current administration—at least the kids are benefiting.

As part of a Thursday meeting with the White House's Al Education Task Force—chaired by Melania Trump—Microsoft said it would provide a free Microsoft 365 Personal subscription to college students for a year's time. Microsoft normally charges $99.99 annually for that Microsoft 365 Personal subscription (fave.co/4mf18gi), so that's a fairly substantial savings for a college student.
