On September 16, 2005,
CITEl has already awarded 178 fellowships for 10 telecommunication
courses offered by recognized Training Centers in the region and in
coordination with the Center of Excellence of the Americas region of
the International Telecommunication Union. There are still fellowships
available for several telecommunication courses. OAS scholarship
applications must be submitted using form OAS 98 (Fellowship
Application form), and including all documentation required.
Applications must be forwarded to the Organization of American States
through the official channels established by the government of each
country
National Liaison Offices (ONEs). This is a mandatory requirement.
In light of our experience of applications for
courses in previous years, we kindly request that applicants follow
the recommendations below:
-
Fellowship applications are to be submitted
through the official channels indicated in the announcement.
-
Note that often
National Liaison Offices (ONEs) have deadline dates that may be
up to one month earlier than the OAS deadline. Contact the ONE as
soon as possible to ascertain the ONE deadline and to verify the
required procedures. Such procedures are generally not complicated,
but they do need to be completed by the deadlines established.
-
Complete the entire
OAS Form 98 as carefully as possible. Selection will be made on
the basis of this information. If information is missing, the
application may be rejected.
-
Indicate clearly on the form a fax number and
e-mail address where you can be contacted and advised of the
selection results.

voice and video content. At the end of the course participants will
have a technological update that will alow them to understand the
reasons of this new market of Next Generation Networks, not only
because of its possibilities but also because there is now a migration
towards a converged system based in IP that is confirmed by even the
more conservative global leaders of the telecommunication market.
