There is no shortage of paid courses, badges, and career platforms aimed at college students. This is worth putting in the family group chat because AWS has launched Student Rewards, a program for verified university students that can provide up to $579 in cloud and AI learning resources.

After the student verifies enrollment and completes a Builder Center profile, AWS gives them a year of Skill Builder Premium. The rest is earned through participation. A student who chooses one useful goal can turn the program into an early-career project instead of another unused login.
