In keeping with their tradition to foster the talents of young developers, and their commitment to education, Apple is once again offering 150 WWDC scholarships to students 13 years old or older who aspire to develop great apps. Apple made a similar offer last year – and I for one am glad to see them offer the program once more!
Applications for the WWDC 2013 Student Scholarship will be accepted starting April 29th at 9AM PDT – although students will have to meet certain requirements to be eligible. Here are the details from Apple’s developer site:
