We have just recently launched this program. It is a worldwide scholarship contest for high school/secondary school students (ages 14-18)
To apply, students propose an idea for how they would like to use technology to help a charity (they do not actually have to implement the idea to apply). 10 worldwide finalists (5 females, 5 males) will be selected and each will receive US$5,000 to be divided up as follows:
- US$1,500 budget to implement the project
- US$2,500 scholarship
- US$1,000 donation to the student’s high school
For more information please visit https://www.thespoke.net/ycmd/info.aspx
If you have a RSS Reader please use the following feed https://blogs.msdn.com/msozacademic/Rss.aspx
Please keep in touch and leave some feedback! For those first 6 faculty members who leave us feedback will recieve some cool Microsoft product. The first 2 will recieve a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=005 and a copy of Digital Image Suite 10 https://www.microsoft.com/products/imaging/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=003 the next 4 will recieve a copy of Plus!

Does Microsoft have anything similar to the Apple University Consortium (AUC)? It does a great job of encouraging use of Apple technologies in tertiary institutions through grants of software, hardware and so forth.Anonymous

This is a great new blog!
What's happened to MSDN Subscriptions for students? I can't find the academic pricing anywhere and my school doesn't have (nor wants to get) a MSDNAA subscription, and there is no way I could afford a full MSDN subscription.Anonymous

What a great idea! Finally, a symbiosis between the strongest commercial IT company and the academics. I will be looking forward to reading numerous interesting ideas and
technology exchange on this blog.Anonymous

What info are we looking to release? Info relevant to you around research, teaching, programs etc. Also we want to notify you of offers for Faculty and Students.
AUC? Looks like a good program from Apple, we do have the MSDNAA www.msdnaa.net program in which most tertiary institutes across ANZ are part of.Anonymous
