I’m writing to inform you and members of the STC India chapter that
the Technical Editing Special Interest Group (SIG) of the STC is now
accepting applications for two $1400 scholarships from students
pursuing studies in technical communication. Could you please pass
along to chapter members and university students the scholarship
announcement copied below? The Technical Editing SIG would like to see
more applications from students outside of the United States this
year, and we hope that chapter outreach will help us achieve this
goal.
Please let me know if there is someone else I should be contacting or
if there is any way that I can help you share this information with
students.
Thanks for your help!
