Fifty-one $500 scholarships will be awarded; one scholarship to one student in each of the fifty states in the United States and one in the District of Columbia. Eligible applicants include students who are U.S. residents pursuing the CCNA certification and currently enrolled in Discovery or Exploration courses and will continue to be enrolled in Discovery or Exploration courses in 2009 at a post-secondary Cisco Networking Academy institution in the United States or the District of Columbia.
