Microsoft 365 + ChatGPT 5 Copilot Yearly Subscription is Available for Free [Limited Time]

Microsoft is giving students free access to its 365 Personal subscription with Copilot for an entire year, extending far beyond the usual three-month student trial. The new offer mirrors similar student-focused moves by Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity, and provides access to Microsoft’s full productivity suite as well as premium Copilot features. The company describes it as a limited-time deal available only in select regions.

Eligibility and Availability

Microsoft announced the new offer in a post on X. The free year is available to anyone who has completed high school and is currently enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate program. Students who are not part of a registered degree course cannot claim the offer.

The sign-up page is already live, and students can activate the 12-month subscription immediately. However, the offer expires on November 30, after which new claims will no longer be accepted.

What the Plan Includes

Microsoft says the 365 Personal subscription is meant for individual use and cannot be shared. Students can sign in on up to five devices at the same time, which allows easy access across PCs, phones, and tablets.

The plan includes the full suite of Microsoft 365 apps with all premium functions, such as Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Each of these apps also integrates the Copilot sidebar as an added AI layer. The subscription unlocks additional Copilot features as well, including Deep Research, Podcasts, and Vision, along with higher usage limits across the platform.

The offer also enables Microsoft’s image and video tools inside Copilot, giving students access to multimodal features throughout the 365 ecosystem. In addition, the subscription includes 1TB of cloud storage shared across Outlook and OneDrive.
