Microsoft this week awarded grants to five universities to enhance the Assignment Manager component of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic. Chosen from a field of 20 proposals from 17 universities around the world, the Redmond, Wash.-based company Tuesday selected the universities based on their submitted request for proposal (RFP) under the Visual Studio .NET Academic Tools Source Licensing Program, part of Microsoft's Shared Source Initiative.

The universities selected include the Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil), Monash University (Australia), Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho (Brazil), University of Hull (United Kingdom) and Yale University (United States).
