I'm finding that there are tons of great benefits to being a student in addition to being "a student". Namely, the academic pricing offered by many companies for very high end software.
I'm wondering then, could all of us in attending WGU here in this forum put some pressure on the WGU staff to setup a partnership with Microsoft Azure. It is available to educational institutions, just I don't think WGU is yet a partner. But by doing so, they'd be able to pass the Azure services onto students for 6-months at a time. This is great for those of us needing to do labs, and working on certifications. Everything is 100% virtualized, and you can provision servers in seconds.
Here's the info to pass on to WGU. I'm certainly going to rattle their cage as this is a great learning opportunity:

I am sure I have seen something about WGU and Azure access in the past. Try calling the Dreamspark administrator and see if they already have access -

Already replied to your other thread but just want to reiterate that we do have access to Azure for free if you sign up for the student Dreamspark account. -
