Announcement of the 1995 Donald E. Knuth Scholarship competition

TUG, the TeX Users Group, makes available one Knuth Scholarship for
award in 1995. The competition will be open to all TeX users holding
support positions that are secretarial, clerical or editorial in
nature. It is therefore not intended for those with a substantial
training in technical, scientific or mathematical subjects and, in
particular, it is not open to anyone holding, or studying for, a
degree with a major or concentration in these areas.

The award will consist of an expense-paid trip to the 1995 TUG Annual
Meeting at St. Petersburg, Florida, and to the Scholar's choice from the
short courses offered in conjunction with that meeting; and TUG
membership for 1995, if the Scholar is not a TUG member, or for 1996, if
the Scholar is already a TUG member.  A cap of $2000 has been set for the
award; however, this does not include the meeting or course registration
fee, which will be waived.

To enter the competition, applicants should submit to the Scholarship
Committee, by the deadline specified below, the input file and final TeX
output of a project that displays originality, knowledge of TeX, and good
TeXnique.

The full announcement will be printed in TUGboat 15 #3; it will also
be posted to CTAN, in tex-archive/usergrps/tug/scholar.*.
A brochure with additional information is available from the TUG
office. To obtain a copy, or to request instructions on e-mail
submission, write to the address at the end of this announcement, or
send a message by e-mail to tug at tug.org with the subject ``Knuth
