THE FOUNDATION FOR AMATEUR RADIO, INC., a non-profit organization with headquarters in Washington, D.C., plans to administer fifty-four (54) scholarships for the academic year 2006 - 2007 to assist licensed Radio Amateurs.  The Foundation, composed of over seventy-five local area Amateur Radio Clubs, fully funds three of these scholarships.  Ten are funded with the income from grants.  The remaining forty-one (41) are administered by the Foundation without cost to the various donors.

 

Licensed Radio Amateurs may compete for these awards if they plan to pursue a full-time course of studies beyond high school and are enrolled in or have been accepted for enrollment at an accredited university, college or technical school.  The awards range from $500 to $2500 with preference given in some cases to residents of specified geographical areas or the pursuit of certain study programs.  Clubs, especially those in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, are encouraged to announce these opportunities at their meetings, in their club newsletters, during training classes, on their nets and on their world wide web home pages.

 

Additional information and an application form may be requested by letter or QSL card, postmarked prior to April 30, 2006 from:
