As students we all like to learn new technologies, love to work on different platforms and improve our knowledge and gaining experience which we cannot get during the lectures in university. Unfortunately most of the services, tools, platforms are expensive and the undergraduate may not able to afford those.
But luckily, there are some awesome companies that think about this problem and giveaway their products & services FREE for any university student while they are in university.
For applying these offers you must have a email address given by university. Most of the time its a academic email that have .ac (academic) or .edu (educational) sub-domain/domain.
