Access to Microsoft Azure

Schwab has partnered with Microsoft to allow participants an option to access Microsoft Azure. It is 100% optional (i.e. one alternative to consider for your development). Refer to the instructions provided below to enable Azure. Microsoft Azure representatives will be present during the hackathon. So feel free to reach out to them if you have any questions. Thanks to the Microsoft team!

Step 1:

Open a private browsing session, go to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students/ and click on ‘Activate’

Step 2:

Step 3:

If you have already verified your status as a student with this Microsoft Account, skip to Step 5.

Otherwise, Verify your student status with your UT email address.

Step 4:

An email will be sent to your UT email inbox that confirms your student status.  Click on the link in the email to return to the signup workflow.

 Step 5:
