Apple to Accept WWDC Scholarship Applications March 27, Lodging Now Included
Each year, Apple offers free WWDC scholarships to students and STEM organization members who don't have the funds to attend the company's developer conference.
For 2017, Apple will begin accepting scholarship submissions on March 27, as is outlined on an updated scholarship website Apple shared today. Submissions will be accepted from March 27 at 10:00 a.m. until April 2 at 5:00 p.m. Winning applicants will be notified of their status on Friday, April 21.
Scholarships traditionally offer free tickets to WWDC, a huge benefit as a ticket is normally priced at $1,599. Flights and accommodations are not typically included, but starting this year, Apple is providing free lodging.
WWDC scholarship applicants must be at least 13 years old, registered as an Apple developer, and enrolled in a part-time or full-time course of study. Members and alumni of a STEM organization are also eligible.
Apple instructs prospective scholarship attendees to share a visually interactive scene created in Swift Playgrounds that can be experienced in three minutes. Swift Playgrounds for iPad or Xcode on macOS must be used, and Apple will judge applications on technical accomplishment, creativity of ideas, and the content of written responses.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from June 5 to June 9 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. It is the first WWDC that hasn't been held in San Francisco since 2003.
While the conference is designed to allow developers to interact with Apple engineers and employees, Apple will hold a keynote event on June 5 to announce new software updates, including iOS 11 and macOS 10.13.

Huh... Not much negative to say here. I guess that's why there's only 6 comments after 3 hours.

Smart of them to include lodging, in the bay area someone who can't cover the entrance fee is likely to have trouble with a hotel as well.

Technology alone is not enough. Technology must intersect with the liberal emojis and human emojis, to create new ideas and experiences that push society forward. This summer we bring together thousands of brilliant emojis representing many diverse perspectives, passions, and talents to help us change the world.

As a late 20-something college dropout who failed to actualize his hopes and dreams of becoming an Apple developer and is stuck in a lowly retail job-- these scholarship tickets aren't for me. :(
(Pssst... If you are reading this Tim Cook, please take pity on my poor soul and give me a ticket to freedom! Pretty please.)
