I am currently on student's account and in the https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/free/students, in 'See all free services' it shows this.

Here as we can see it says free monthly amount be 750 hours of each, then does that mean every month i will be getting 750 hours of each renewed, so every month for 12 months we will be having 750 hours of these given vms for free?Also i have seen other answer some say it does like this

    Yes, "These products are free up to the specified monthly amounts." You can get up to 750 hours per month for these VM sizes. That means you could run a single Windows B1s VM and a single Linux B1s VM without stopping them for free.

    Does that answer your question? Let me know if you need anything else and I will be happy to assist.
