Microsoft Offers College Students Free Office Apps and Copilot for 3 Months

Microsoft is now helping college students in the US by giving them time-limited free access to Microsoft Office apps and its Copilot AI for 3 months. The offer includes full versions of popular tools like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook, all powered by Microsoft 365 Personal.

With this limited-time offer, students can access:

• Full desktop versions of Office apps (like Word and Excel).
• Copilot, Microsoft’s smart AI assistant.
• 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage.

This package is normally paid, but students get three months free. After the trial, they can use it for just $4.99/month, which is 50% less than the usual price of $9.99/month.

This free trial is only for college students in the United States. To sign up, students will need to go to this link and grab the 3-month free trial right away. Students have to use their official college or university email address to prove they’re enrolled.

If you’re a student outside of the U.S., you won’t get the free trial, but you can still subscribe to the discounted $4.99/month plan, which is still a great deal.

Microsoft isn’t the only tech giant giving students a gift. OpenAI recently announced that students can get ChatGPT Plus for free, and Google has joined in the fun by offering Gemini Advanced for free to students. Clearly, it’s a great time to be a student.

This is a great opportunity for college students to try out premium office apps and AI tools without spending a penny. If you’re a student in the US, don’t miss it, sign up today using your college email and take your productivity to the next level.
