[802SEC] Call for Student Application Papers ready for distribution

[Paul Nikolich <paul.nikolich@ATT.NET>]

Dear EC Members,

As you know, I am a member of the IEEE Educational Activities Standards 
Education Committee.  A principal objective of this committee is to engage 
university students in standards related projects.  To that end, the IEEE is 
offering grants with small stipends to students and professors--see the 
attached document for details.

Please consider circulating this email to your WG members so that profs and 
students are aware of the initiative.

Regards,

--Paul
