by , 2:00 PM EST, March 1st, 2004
Apple's ADC (Apple Developer Connection) is offering some student developers a free scholarship to attend this year's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). The WWDC is Apple's annual gathering of developers, a platform from which the company communicates its direction to developers, and offers training and other tools to help those developers make better Mac apps.
While Apple offers a student package to make it easier for young developers to make the trek to the WWDC, the scholarships make it even easier for the winning students by making the student e-ticket free of charge. From the WWDC Web site:

The Mac Observer Spin:
We like this. We like to see Apple reaching out to young developers in every way possible, and these scholarships definitely do that. We just wish Apple could offer many hundreds (or thousands) of such scholarships, but even a few will mean that many new developers entering the world of Mac development.If you think you are eligible, TMO encourages you to apply for a scholarship.
