Xamarin to Give Students Free Access to Xamarin Studio to Develop iOS and Android Apps

Monday, November 10, 2014

Xamarin is reaching out to students and teachers in the higher education community with three new programs to access Xamarin products.

For students, Xamarin is launching a new program that will allow students who are currently enrolled in a degree or diploma-granting course of study, to develop iOS apps and Android apps in C# using a free version of Xamarin Studio. Students can sign up on the Xamarin student enrollment page.

The company has also created a new Xamarin Student Ambassador program that will provide the opportunity for college and university students to work with Xamarin engineers and evangelists; receive complimentary Xamarin Business subscriptions for iOS, Android, and Mac; and attend Xamarin University for free. To apply, students can complete a Xamarin Student Ambassador application.

Xamarin is also providing educators teaching a mobile development course at accredited academic institutions access to free Xamarin software, educational material, and other resources. More information is available on the Xamarin website.
