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. This is a golden opportunity for top-tier student developers to further their development skills and produce a great software product.

* A 1-year ADC Select Membership, renewable subject to acceptable progress;
* A standard AUC student scholarship to attend Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference in 2008;
* A standard AUC student scholarship to attend the AUC DevWorld Conference in 2008;
* The possibility of participating in the Apple USA internship program in Cupertino, USA, with AUC backing;
* Subject to acceptable progress attendance at WWDC and the AUC Conference in 2009.

Selection Criteria
The selection panel will consider the following selection criteria when reviewing applications:

* The student’s academic record.
* The nature of the proposed project in terms of novelty, utility, and its relationship to the goals and values of the Apple University Consortium.
* The student’s interest in and passion for the platform.

Neither Apple nor the AUC solicit any claim on copyright or intellectual property of projects produced by recipients of the Student Developer Scholarship Program (but note that the AUC reserves the right to publish any of the required reports).
