If you are interested in IT and cloud computing, you now have a chance to learn the leading cloud technology!

CUHK is a member of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Educate program. It provides students and educators with the resources for cloud-related learning.  With the grants-based access, it provides hands-on experience with AWS technology*, cloud training resources, course content and collaboration forums.

Grant-based access
AWS Educate provides educators, teaching assistants, and students with AWS credits to access AWS services. For educators, these credits can help to build your courses or skill up on AWS. Students can apply their credits to use AWS services for gaining hands-on experience with AWS and completing homework assignments, labs and projects.
Through application to AWS Educate individually, faculty receive US$200 credit and students receive US$100 credit for the use of AWS services annually. 
Let's get started by registering for an Amazon Web Services account with your CUHK email address! With this account**, you may apply for a grant (issued on the basis of your affiliation with CUHK). Once approved, you can apply this credit to your personal account, and charge Amazon Web Services against its balance.
