Just check out the following links.

PC World : Microsoft Gives Software to Nurture Future Coders

QUOTE
Software available to students through DreamSpark includes Microsoft's development environment, Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, and its Web and graphic design toolset, the Expression Studio. Microsoft also is making available XNA Game Studio 2.0, SQL Server Developer Edition, Windows Server Standard Edition and other software and resources through the program.

In the next six months Microsoft expects to extend the program to college students in Australia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia and other countries. And in the third quarter, the software will be available to high school students as well, Microsoft said.
So probably in six month we will see such thing goes world wide. Anyway ... I'm no logger a student biggrin.gif . If any student out there have the skill and interested, I might be able to help as adviser. Better yet, form a team of students for final year project or something academic,

Keep in mind that such project is good as a portfolio or sample works. Consider that game development is an evolving market. It helps to have early exposure.

Disclaimer : I am not associated with Microsoft, I am a mere developer who have lots of free time.

I don't feel the vibe of XNA smile.gif . Perhaps too much limitation.

Cheers!
