OSI Scholarships, Australia (r)

[sai_kyauk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Amanda,
OSI scholarship for Ausi is only for the burmese activists or all 
Burmese citizen?  I am asking you because OSI (USA) gives scholarships 
to all Burmese citizens including SLORC/SPDC's kids. Also OSI 
application forms ask the applicant how he or she help and got involve 
in the democratic movement in Burma.  But they give most of the 
scholarship to the Burmese who have no back ground about the democratic 
movement and it is ironic that why OSI ask the applicant's activities if 
they decided to give all Burmese including people who came to the US 
legally because they never involve in our democratic struggle.  Most 
activists from the border area could not get scholarship from OSI.  OSI 
is misleading George Soros funds.  It is a shame and I want how you 
catagorize the applications.  Please let me know.

with best regards

Sai
