Al Barsa Memorial Scholarship

[David Gibbs <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks:

In the latest issue of IBM Systems magazine, Don Rima wrote a very nice remembrance of Al Barsa and pointed out that the scholarship program that was started to honor Al's memory is now accepting applications.

Information about the scholarship can be found at http://www.common.org/foundation/#barsa and the application form can be found at http://www.common.org/foundation/BarsaScholarshipApp.pdf.

To quote from the COMMON site ... "The COMMON Education Foundation is proud to offer the Al Barsa Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship will honor an individual who exemplifies Al’s commitment and dedication to the i community, is a mentor to others, and is an advocate to the i community. The recipient of this award will receive a conference registration to the 2009 COMMON Annual Meeting and be presented with a plaque."

midrange.com has, and will continue to, contribute to the scholarship fund.
