I'm no longer student at a university (working) -- can I apply? are there any age restrictions?

[em-bee]

yes, the program is now open to anyone. i don't think there are age restrictions.

the primary condition is that you are new to FOSS and are not an active contributor already

[nalinidash]

You should be over 18.There is no maximum age restriction though.

Why? People who are interested and caring enough to start without getting paid, and who have shown they are more likely to succeed, are the ones who are excluded? That's toxic to FOSS culture.

[em-bee]

the point of the program is to attract new contributors, not to reward old ones. how is that toxic?

[ghoshbishakh]

I believe you must be enrolled as a student in some accredited institution.

[em-bee]

not anymore
