About this opportunity
Searching for "Microsoft Tuition Scholarship" leads to a common point of confusion: Microsoft doesn't run one single, permanently-named tuition scholarship. Instead, it operates several distinct programs aimed at students in computer science and related STEM fields -- among them the Microsoft Scholarship Program for Women Pursuing STEM Careers and the Black at Microsoft Scholarship Program -- each with its own eligibility, award amount, and application window.
Before applying, confirm the exact name of the current program, whether its window is open right now, and whether it's tied to a specific event or conference -- Microsoft's scholarship pages cycle between open and closed rather than accepting rolling applications.
The Microsoft Tuition Scholarship is a partially funded scholarship offered by Microsoft for applicants heading to United States, Canada, Mexico.
