Would you like a scholarship from Microsoft?

Full time students in a Bachelor’s degree program at a 4 year college or university in Canada can apply for scholarships from Microsoft. Deadline for the next round of scholarships is February 3rd.

When we visited Carleton University Tuesday evening with Heidi Dowling, one of the Microsoft recruiters, and Mark Staveley, a fellow Canadian now working on the Xbox team in Redmond. Heidi asked the students one question that caught my attention:

“Who here would like free money?”

Suffice to say a lot of hands went up (including mine!). Heidi then want on to explain the Microsoft gives out scholarships every year and Canadian students enrolled full time in undergraduate degrees can apply.

The deadline for applications is fast approaching: February 3rd! So don’t wait, go to www.microsoft.com/university and apply for a scholarship, because hey who doesn’t like free money .
