U$300 ~ 400 to the TPC student owners in USA

I just read a news that Microsoft plans to give U$300 ~ 400 to the students who had the first-hand TPC after Dec. 2002 in USA. This program may launch in Aug. 2005.
If interested, Please read the news from

Should the students with TPC in Taiwan ask for this kind benefit too?

Good luck to you, or me if losen restriction is applicable.
