The call is out to students interested in pursuing training in the information technology sector to get their applications in for the Xerox Canada Aboriginal Scholarship Program.

The $3,000 scholarships are awarded to eight winners each year.

"And that scholarship," said spokesman Lee Ahenakew, "if you win it, you get it every year you go to school for up to four years. So it's a pretty big program, because we keep giving the scholarships as kids continue their schooling."

The Internet has grown in awareness and use over the last seven years since it became the newest technological tool introduced to business and public use.

Businesses are finding the speed and ease of sharing documents and other information with clients, employees and suppliers indispensable. It's hard to imagine that we were sending everything via mail and couriers less than 20 years ago.
