Re: iSeries vs. zSeries

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The scholarship to attend COMMON is offered through the Education 
Foundation.  The only link to that page, that I have found, is at the 
bottom of each page (www.common.org/foundation).

The scholarship is intended for educators: those who teach programming, 
design, etc., for the iSeries. 

There is another scholarship intended for students actually working 
towards a degree in IT.  This is a tuition reimbursement scholarship, 
not one to attend COMMON.
