Students
Can Get Microsoft Office 365 For Free
Starting
on December 1st, Universities that license Office Education for their
faculty and staff can offer students Office 365 ProPlus for free
thanks to a new program called Student Advantage. For students at
these institutions, that means free access to Word, PowerPoint,
Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and Lync.
Microsoft’s
stated goal is to better prepare students for a workforce in which
Office plays a very central role. In a study by Microsoft and the
IDC, they found that proficiency in Microsoft Office was the third
most sought after skill in high-paying jobs.
Over
35,000 institutions are already automatically eligible for Student
Advantage.
