Announcing the Inaugural Class of the Mac Admins Foundation Scholarship Program

The Mac Admin Foundation’s first scholarship program provides members of the Mac Admins community the opportunity to test and certify for the Apple Certified Support Professional and Apple Certified IT Professional certifications.

The board is pleased to announce that the Mac Admins Foundation has issued 390 exam codes to 195 scholarship recipients in January. 

We wish recipients the best of luck on their exams, and look forward to celebrating their success in the coming months.

What's next?

The board intends to continue this program as part of broader scholarship offerings. Our focus in 2023 is shifting to support conference attendance and sponsorship. We will have more details on the continuation of this initiative later this year.

Want to get involved? 

Keep up with the Mac Admins Foundation via our website or #macadminsfoundation in Slack. Questions specific to this scholarship can also be sent to scholarships@macadmins.org. 

Your feedback is a major part of creating programs that benefit our community. We look forward to hearing from you!

Mac Admins Foundation Update @ MacSysAdmin 2022

This week board members Emily and Chris presented a session at this year’s virtual MacSysAdmin conference. In the session they recapped the journey that lead to the Mac Admin Foundation’s creation, some recent news, and programs currently in progress.

The session is available to view on-demand at MacSysAdmin.se. The session listing includes a video with AI generated closed captioning, and we’ll provide a full transcript of the session on this post soon.

Thank you Patrik and team for having us onboard for this year’s conference. We hope to see you all in person next year in Gothenburg!

Mac Admins Foundation @ JNUC 2022

We’re happy to announce that the Mac Admins Foundation will be in attendance at this year’s Jamf Nation User Conference in San Diego, CA. If you’re attending this year’s JNUC, we have a few things we wanted to let you know about while you prepare your schedule for the week.

Group photo

Please join us after the end of Tuesday’s keynote address in the Sails Pavilion at the San Diego Convention Center for a group photo. Jamf’s social media team will help us take some pictures; thank you Jamf! Please come on Tuesday wearing your favorite Mac Admins Foundation gear. Please wait for the room to begin to clear before making your way up to the stage for the photo.

Stickers

One of the most requested items we’re asked to add to our online store are stickers. Unfortunately, the Bonfire platform does not include stickers, and as a result we don’t have a good way to make them generally available yet. But we still want to get stickers out there for all of you!

For supporters in San Diego this week we’ve printed a special run of 2” Mac Admins Foundation logo holographic stickers.

Come find myself or @rtrouton at #JNUC2022 next week for a little something special… 🌈 pic.twitter.com/GMbuag2YB0

Thank you, Jamf

We’re so thrilled that Jamf is giving us space to share more information and spread the word about the Mac Admins Foundation. We also want to express our gratitude to Jamf for joining the Mac Admins Foundation as a major sponsor.

If you’re sharing VoiceOver shirts you spot in the wild on social media, or are attending virtually , please tag your posts with hashtags #jnuc2022 and #mafatjnuc on Twitter (and elsewhere). We love your support and would also love to reshare your content on our social channels as well.
