Microsoft recently announced registrations for the Microsoft Student Associates (MSA) – India Program. If you are a student, have a passion for Microsoft technologies, love social media and are involved at your campus, then this opportunity is sure to interest you. This new initiative from Microsoft, focuses on developing leadership qualities of students in their campus.
Microsoft Student Associate Program
As a Microsoft Student Associate or MSA, you will represent your local campus as technology enthusiasts and social media/marketing evangelists. Specifically speaking, as Microsoft Student Associate, you will:
- Drive student outreach and learning initiatives by hosting activities like workshops, boot camps etc.
- Be a catalyst in driving initiatives around social impact involving students from local campuses
- Contribute in empowering the industry and academia ecosystem by constantly playing a role of an evangelist in the community
Microsoft is looking for students, who are passionate about Microsoft technologies, software, services and products, Energetic, self-motivated, involved in organizing events at your campus, well connected with students and faculty members and have good communication skills
Difference between MSP and MSA
Microsoft Student Partners are application builders, developers, programmers, coders, whereas Microsoft Student Associates are technology enthusiasts, student influencers who use technology for social impact. This MSA program is open to students across all disciplines and not restricted to students enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics courses. The MVP Student Mentor Program, by the way, pairs Microsoft MVP’s with MSP’s, and lets the latter gain from the expertise and experience of the former.

I have no idea. Where did you get this term from?
how it is useful for us?
for the registeration, you’d have to get a recommendation letter from one of the MSP or faculty of your college and then upload it on one drive.a recommendation letter look like this: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=BA2BEF0F1EFF2B25!1290&ithint=file%2cdoc&app=Word&authkey=!AKmlCkaF3iOMmtk
You have to be a student at an accredited institution to apply for the program. A faculty member from your institution should provide a recommendation letter to you. This is Faculty endorsement.
If you don’t know any faculty in that much deep, you can get a recommendation letter from past/present Microsoft Student Partners. This is MSP endorsement.
If you are selected as a MSP/MSA it means that you have leadership skills. I t would help you in your resume. But you should be really ready to help your fellow students by guiding them.
Well said.
