What happened to lucky winner of July Scholarship drawing?
- Posted on 09/04/2007In July 2007, Rafael Alves was a lucky winner of our scholarship drawing. The timing could not have been better.

He attended his selected CCNA class in August and we are happy to announce that he is now ready to take the CCNA exam. This young man has a great story to share since he came to USA just to visit his parents.
