Hello Andrew,
I’m writing to inform you and members of the STC Manitoba 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!
