Apple Student & Student Developer Scholarships
Otago has recently joined the Apple University Consortium (AUC). One of the benefits is that our students are able to apply for Developer Scholarships and WWDC Scholarships (the latter to attend Apple's World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco, June 2010).
The AUC Student Developer Scholarships programme is aimed at Australasia's top student developers. We're seeking up to three students who have a talent for, and demonstrated experience in, programming on Mac OS X, a strong academic record, and an innovative project idea that doesn't reinvent the wheel.
