Students: 12 months of Microsoft 365 Premium, free
12 months free, then $19.99/mo auto-billed
Microsoft's current student offer gives verified higher-education students a full year of Microsoft 365 Premium (the top Copilot tier) free. Verification is broader than it used to be: a school email, enrollment details, an ISIC card, or documents like a dated student ID all work; it is not .edu-only. The catch: a payment method goes on file at signup, and billing starts automatically at $19.99/month from month 13 unless you cancel. The play: set a month-11 reminder, cancel before month 13, and buy Office 2024 once instead. Over a four-year degree that reminder is worth $539.65. New Premium subscribers only, annual re-verification, limited time, not available in all markets. Check whether your school already provides Office free before signing up.
