ARRL Foundation Invites Scholarship Applications for 2017-18 Academic Year:
The ARRL Foundation http://www.arrl.org/the-arrl-foundation will begin accepting scholarship applications http://www.arrl.org/scholarship-application on October 1 from eligible radio amateurs planning to pursue post-secondary education in the 2017-2018 academic year. Completed applications must be received by January 31, 2017. Individuals and clubs support many of the more than 80 scholarships http://www.arrl.org/scholarship-descriptions, ranging from $500 to $5,000, that are awarded annually. Applicants for all scholarships must be active radio amateurs and must complete and submit the online application http://www.arrl.org/scholarship-application.
"The ARRL Foundation Board of Directors is very pleased to be entrusted with managing this program. The scholarship program is a wonderful way to encourage students to continue their Amateur Radio activities while assisting them with the costs of their higher education," says ARRL Foundation Secretary and ARRL Development Manager Lauren Clarke, KB1YDD. "All ARRL Foundation scholarships are made possible by individuals or clubs, and we are grateful for their support."
The Foundation reported that 81 radio amateurs were the recipients of 2016-2017 academic year scholarships it administered. Awards totaled $120,150.
Students planning to apply for 2017-18 academic year awards should first carefully review the eligibility requirements http://www.arrl.org/scholarship-program and scholarship descriptions http://www.arrl.org/scholarship-descriptions. Although only one application per applicant is required, applicants may ask to be considered for as many of the scholarships for which they are eligible (some scholarships have geographic criteria or other requirements http://www.arrl.org/summary-of-scholarship-requirements). Check off only the scholarships for which you would like to be considered. In addition to completing the online application, applicants must submit foundation@arrl.org a PDF of their academic transcript from their most recently completed school year (e-mailed to foundation@arrl.org).
Applications are due by January 31, 2017, by 11:59 PM ET. Applications without accompanying transcripts will not be considered. Award winners typically are notified in mid-May by USPS mail and e-mail.
