TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Hi. I'm (as of this posting) an ex-lurker on this list.
I just received the latest issue of the STC's Intercom magazine. It contained, among other items, a list of the winners of the STC's 1999-2000 scholarship for technical communication students. All of the winners were from the United States.
I'm considering applying for the scholarship next year. Do any of you techwr-lers know how many, if any, non-US Americans have won the scholarship before? Do the people responsible for awarding the scholarships have much familiarity with tech. comm. education in other countries?
Any and all info / insights appreciated!
Kevin.
