It currently goes by the somewhat confusing moniker of a scholarship, 
right there on the pull-downs on every page of the site.  The Postel
Network Operator's Scholarship does get promoted widely and applicants
are sought from other ops communities across the globe.  Unfortunately 
for those not plugged into the physical meetings, it hasn't actually
been promoted on nanog-announce, etc in the past.  That will definitely 
get rectified.

Cheers,

Joe
