Microsoft Scholarships

As a recipient of one of our scholarships, you’ll be able to have full or partial tuition covered for one academic year. Full tuition scholarships will cover tuition for the academic year as posted by the financial aid office at your college or university. Microsoft will make payments to the designated school, and amounts are not transferable to other academic institutions. You may use the funds for tuition only—not for other costs listed on your bursar bill, such as room and board.

All applicants are required to apply for a Microsoft internship and, if offered, must accept and complete the internship. Microsoft reserves the right not to offer an internship position to the scholarship recipient if an appropriate match cannot be found.

Eligibility

To be eligible, you must:

Be enrolled full time in a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year college or university in the United States, Canada or Mexico at the time you submit the application.

Show satisfactory progress toward an undergraduate degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related technical discipline such as electrical engineering, math, or physics.

Be able to demonstrate an interest in computer science. Because the scholarship is merit-based, you must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 4.0, or a 4.0 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 5.0. Chosen recipients will be asked to provide a copy of their official transcript.
