AWS in Education

AWS in Education provides a set of programs that enable the worldwide academic community to easily leverage the benefits of Amazon Web Services for teaching and research. With AWS in Education, educators, academic researchers, and students can apply to obtain free usage credits to tap into the on-demand infrastructure of Amazon Web Services to teach advanced courses, tackle research endeavors and explore new projects – tasks that previously would have required expensive up-front and ongoing investments in infrastructure.

With AWS you can requisition compute power, storage, database functionality, content delivery, and other services — gaining access to a suite of elastic IT infrastructure services as you demand them. AWS enables the academic community to inexpensively and rapidly build on global computing infrastructure to pursue course projects and accelerate their productivity and research results, while enjoying the same benefits of reliability, elasticity, and cost-effectiveness used by industry. The AWS in Education program offers:

* Teaching Grants for educators using AWS in courses (plus access to selected course content resources)
* Research Grants for academic researchers using AWS in their work
* Project Grants for student organizations pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors; Tutorials for students that want to use AWS for self-directed learning
* Solutions for university administrators looking to use cloud computing to be more efficient and cost-effective in the university’s IT Infrastructure

AWS provides a cost-effective way to teach courses in distributed computing, artificial intelligence, data structures, and other compute and storage-intensive subject matter. In the past, such courses would have required extensive hardware and network infrastructure. Now, it’s merely a matter of providing each student with access to the global computing infrastructure and storage capacity of the AWS cloud.

To assist educators around the world in providing cloud computing instruction, AWS offers Teaching Grants supporting free usage of AWS for students in eligible courses. The grants will provide educators up to $100USD in free usage for each student enrolled in courses with Amazon Web Services as part of the curriculum. If you are an educator from an accredited university with an active AWS user account, apply for a grant by filling out the form below.

If you are awarded a Teaching Grant, each students’ $100 credit will be good for up to 1 year from the time AWS confirms your grant award or until the usage credits have been fully utilized in the 1 year course grant timeframe. Only one grant can be awarded to an individual educator per course, but an individual educator may apply for up to two courses running concurrently.

Teaching Grants will enable usage of AWS infrastructure services for coursework and student projects. AWS services supported in the grants include Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon SQS, Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Elastic MapReduce. In addition, a number of educators around the world have already built courseware for AWS concepts, including:
