    The Microsoft Student Partners (MSP) is an organization of University students interested in careers in technology who are willing to help others learn about Microsoft technology.

    The Microsoft Student Partner Program is a worldwide initiative to sponsor students who are interested in technology. The program mainly focuses on improving students skills for employability, fostering a strong student-2-student network and improved information flow between Microsoft and student communities. The members of the community are called Microsoft Student Partners (MSP).

    The program encourages MSPs to learn about the lastest Microsoft Technologies and to propogate that knowledge to the academic community in various engineering colleges in their city or locality. MSPs also organize various city wide events to educate the masses about Microsoft Technologies.

    As of July 06, 2007, there was a total number of 1445 registered Student Partners globally, representing 64 regions/countries.

    Benefits

    Microsoft does offer a stipend to its student partners, although various software and hardware packages are commonly distributed for testing and promotional purposes. Student Partners are also given access to MSDN Premium Subscriptions free of cost to support their promotional activities. There are also cases where Microsoft invites its Student Partners for national conferences and events.
