A college or university education is an expensive venture these days.  Many students and their families will incur a long-lasting debt to insure a professional education and a possibly rewarding career in science and technology.  You can make that effort less painful by recommending a deserving student radio amateur for an ARRL scholarship.

Here’s an article from Stacy (Darren) Holbrook (KH6OWL) which addresses the scholarship issue:

The ARRL Foundation Scholarship program is now accepting applications from eligible applicants.

These include The Old Man International Sideband Society Scholarship; The K6GO Gale Olson and NA6MB Mike Bender Scholarship; The Harry A. Hodges, W6YOO, Scholarship; the Medical Amateur Radio Council (MARCO) Scholarship, and The Ladies Amateur Radio Association of Orange County Scholarship.

Applicants should review all scholarship descriptions and check off the ones for which they are eligible. More information is on the ARRL Foundation Scholarship Program page.
