AWS commits $100 million in cloud credits for underserved students

Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Thursday said it is committing up to $100 million in cloud credits over the next five years to help eligible educational institutions and underserved students worldwide develop and scale digital learning solutions.

The programme, a part of AWS Education Equity Initiative, will grant recipients cloud credits, which function similarly to cash, allowing organisations to reduce their expenses when utilising AWS’s cloud services.
