Hi Richard, If you read the posting well, you will find this bit The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship targets personnel from
developing countries who are actively involved in Internet development, in any of the following roles:
* Engineers (Network Builders) * Operational and Infrastructure Support Personnel * Educators and Trainers
Basically anyone NOT from the so called "Developed Country". I think the last i checked Kenya is still a developing country so we qualify :) Regards, Michuki. Richard Omolo wrote:
