Re: Students and COMMON

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Foundation awards two [2] types of scholarships.  For students 
majoring in I.T., there is a scholarship ($1,000 currently) to help pay 
for college tuition.  For instructors/teachers there is a scholarship to 
pay for their conference registration fee, plus a VMS that also pays for 
hotel and, I think, travel.  So keep the two separate.


There used to be a reduced student conference fee.  This required 
certification (pre-registration) from the students college and/or dean.  
There was never much of a "buzz" about this so I don't know if it still 
exists; the last time I know that it was used was at the Denver 
conference a few years ago.  It would be worth contacting COMMON 
headquarters to ask about it.  Cherese Morgan would be the person to 
talk to.
