Prior to joining Apple, I was a student rep for Apple at UCLA.  I worked in
the computer store there as well.

At the time I was there, no Apple II family computer was available for personal
purchase by a student or faculty or staff member through the Higher Education
Purchase Program offered by Apple.

On the other hand, the institution itself (UCLA in my case), could purchase
Apple II family computers through the Higher Education Purchase Program
for institutional use.

I will leave it to others at Apple to explain why this is the case.
