You can apply to the program anytime according to your convenience, the applications are open 365 days but the results are declared quarterly.

After visiting to the website you will be asked to sign in through your Microsoft account and you are ready to apply for the program.

After signing in you need to fill your general info or academic institution details.

Most important sections of the application

Filling out this sections will make you stand out from the crowd. These sections include Written sample, Social media and Additional info. Before filling out this sections figure out which technology most excites you and decide how you will express it which will make you stand out. Let’s talk about these sections in detail.

Written Sample section

In written sample section you will have three sub sections namely:

  1. Inspire
  2. Teach
  3. Promote

In each section you will have to submit a written sample or a recorded video explaining that part or you can submit both.

But there should be atleast one recorded video with phone or your webcam in which your voice is being clearly audible.

In the Inspire section, as I told you earlier decide what excites you the most in technology and why you want others to use that technology. Be specific and avoid the general answers which are available on Google, to make your application stand out.

In the Teach section, you already know which technology excites you the most so now concentrate on how you will motivate others and what methodologies you will apply to make them understand about that technology. For this section you can submit both a video presentation and a written sample also you can add a code snippet explaining it.

In the Promote section, your answers will differ and it depends on individual that how he or she will promote events and activities in his or her college campus and make others aware of the technologies. Eg: You can promote your events by indulging into different social or technical groups, By engaging with the like minded people etc.

So that’s it for the Written Section, I advice you to think before filling these section and speak or write your answers carefully.

Social Information Section

As I said earlier that the Microsoft Learn Student Applications are open throughout the year so you can take your time and write a blog post, try making your own website, try to make video tutorials explaining about a particular technology and try to be active on other social media platforms like stack overflow.

These section is an optional one but I would advice you to fill more of the details to make you application stand out of the crowd. This section is also important because this section shows your personal branding.

Now last but not the least is the final step😍🎉 i.e. the Additional Information Section. Under this section you are suppose to select atleast one of the technology that excites you. In this section I will advice you to select the technologies that you are passionate about and which you have mentioned in the written section

So that’s all guys you have made it through the application process ✌👏🎉. I hope you will get selected for the next cohort of Microsoft Student Learn Ambassadors. Thankyou for going through the article I hope it will help you.💕
