Requesting GCP cloud credits
Opportunities for free Google Cloud credits provided by Google:

If you are an academic researcher, you can apply for Google Research Credits​
IDC is offering free Google Cloud credits for researchers to try out our platform!
All reasonable requests will receive an initial allocation of $300 towards storage and compute costs. We expect that this amount of funding will be more than enough for you to become familiar with the platform. If you expect that you will need additional funding to complete your planned research, this initial amount may be used to perform prototype analyses and to better estimate your total costs. At that time, you may request additional funding.
To apply for free pilot credits from IDC, please fill out this form.
Please be aware that we will be monitoring your cloud resource usage on a daily basis and will alert you as you begin to approach your funding limit. If you exceed your allocation limit and we are not able to contact you by email for several days, we may need to take action to shut your project down which could cause you to lose work and data!
Procedures related to administration of the IDC cloud credits are outlined in this document.
