With its major developer conference scheduled to kick off in just over four weeks, Apple has started sending out WWDC scholarship notifications to winning applicants. Scholarship recipients avoid the limited lottery system for purchasing a ticket while the $1599 price of the ticket is waived. This year the scholarship program includes 350 slots for student developers and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) organization members. In previous years, the scholarship program has been limited to 200 tickets. Apple will reveal the latest versions of iOS and OS X during the WWDC keynote. The conference begins June 8th.

Congratulations! I’m not a developer but admire your being committed and going for it. Inspires others…like younger brother.

Can’t believe I won! Really wasn’t expecting it since I only started programming for iOS after WWDC last year!

Nice to know they started it.
