Q : What is t he Apple Developer scholarship ?
A : The Apple Developer Scholarship is awarded to 350 people every year . The age range this year was 10 - 80 for people that won . You submit a project that fits Apple ? s rules for the submission and pray to win . If you win you get to go to WWDC for free . There are plenty of other perks , but I wouldn ? t want to spoil them . WWDC is where Apple announces their new technology , and you get to learn for Apple Engineers about all the cool new stuff . If you need help with something apple has hundreds of engineers waiting to help .

Q : What does it t ake t o be an Apple Developer ?
A : Well , an Apple developer in the sense of developing stuff using apples developer tools just takes a passion , or drive , and a lot a trial and error .

Q : What st eps did you t ake t o receive t his scholarship ?
A ; At first , I found out you could subscribe to get email notifications when the scholarship rules were released , so I did that . Then about a month later I got an email stating the rules and what they were going to judge on . After a few mistakes of not reading the instructions properly , I started on my Playground . I actually had never made a Playground , so Apple had some sample projects where I found a base to start , and I just kept building . I finished and submitted on the day after they opened submissions .
