Free Office Pro for students

Today Microsoft annonced a new education program called “Student Advantage”, which means students can get Office Pro for free if the institution have licenses for faculty and staff.

Beginning Dec. 1, any academic institution that licenses Office for staff and faculty can provide Office 365 ProPlus for students at no additional cost.

Most institutions deploying Office 365 have so far used the free A2 for both faculty and for students, but if A3 were deployed for faculty, there is an option to add Office Pro for students (A2 + Office Pro).
