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 RDS, Amazon SQS, Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Elastic MapReduce. Cluster GPU Instances for Amazon EC2 are only available for grant recipients on a limited basis by written consent of the program administrator.
