[PPRAANet] 2nd try -- ppraa and other available scholarships available at far

[Jim]

2nd try -- sending this out as text only -- the reflector didn't like 
all my html.

As I mentioned at our PPRAA general meeting, our organization has once 
again funded its PPRAA scholarship for $1,000 for the 2017/2018 academic 
year.Information, including scholarship applications, for this and many 
other scholarships is available at the Foundation for Amateur Radio 
(FAR) website http://www.farweb.org/scholarship-information 
<http://www.farweb.org/scholarship-information>
Per information from FAR, /“We would like to get this to as many 
potential applicants as possible. Please note that we have *extended the 
due date from April 15 to April 30*.”/There are many other scholarships 
also available, and the way I understand it, when a person applies, he 
or she is applying for all of them for which the criteria is met.  The 
PPRAA scholarship has its own unique criteria (as do others).

*The bottom line is – if you know of anyone wanting to apply, or if you 
want to apply, do it now.*

A summary email from FAR:

/“The Foundation for Amateur Radio, Inc., will be administering a total 
of 57 scholarships,//worth an aggregate of $94,575 for the 2017/2018 
academic year.
The scholarships range in value from $500 to $5,000 each.//All 
applicants must meet the following minimum requirements:/

each application will be considered for all of the scholarships for
