right now in sydney sun microsys is putting fifteen AU$9000 scholarships to the table to students doing IT courses in high schools...now I think I've got a nice chance (though on the sheet it says preference to females), but the Java course at Sun is going to go for the end of this year and the whole of next year, which is my last year of high school (the year I do my uni entry test) so is it worth giving this a try?
