Full Access
Azure for Students Starter is a cloud-offer aimed at verified students that allows you to access a subset of Azure services free of charge, with no upfront cost or credit-card required.
Specifically, you get access to certain services such as

• Azure App Service – host web apps, APIs, mobile back-ends.
• Azure Functions – serverless code execution.
• Azure Notification Hubs – push notifications for mobile apps.
• Azure Database for MySQL (MySQL in-app) – database support for web apps.
• Application Insights (feature of Azure Monitor) – diagnostics/telemetry.
• Azure DevOps Services (formerly Visual Studio Team Services) – collaboration and code repos.

The offer is described as having no commitment or fixed time-limit as long as you remain eligible (i.e., still a student and verifying status) and the subscription is active.
This is different from the full “Azure for Students” offer (for university students) which includes a $100 credit and broader service access.
Key Benefits

• No credit card required at signup
• Free access to selected Azure services (App Service, Functions, Notification Hubs, MySQL, Application Insights, DevOps)
• No time-limit commitment (as long as you are a student)
• Great for building student projects, prototypes or web apps in the cloud
• Easy upgrade path to full Pay-As-You-Go Azure if you need more services

$100
The “Azure for Students” program from Microsoft gives eligible full-time students at accredited institutions access to free cloud credits and selected free services in the Azure platform.
The offer provides US $100 (or equivalent) in Azure credits for 12 months, and grants access to more than 25 free-tier Azure services (compute, storage, database, networking) during that period.
The offer may be renewed yearly if eligibility continues.
Key Benefits

• No credit card required for signup
• Free monthly amounts of 65+ always-free services
• Access to Azure OpenAI to try ChatGPT
• Access to more than 25 free-tier Azure services (compute, storage, database etc.) for new Azure users
