Each year the ARRL Foundation awards scholarships to deserving amateur radio operators from the funds that they manage. Scholarships range from $500 to $25,000.
Now is the time to act for any Senior in High School or any college student returning next fall. The ARRL Foundation Scholarship application period for the academic year 2024-2025 opened on October 30th, 2023, and ends on January 10th, 2024. Do this NOW, before the holiday season gets too hectic.
The descriptions of the many scholarships available are online.

Since only amateur radio operator students may apply, the chances of being selected for a scholarship are good. It would be a shame for our Oklahoma students to miss this opportunity. In recent years 10’s of thousands of scholarship dollars have been received by Oklahoma students.
Since 1973, the ARRL Foundation, with the generosity of many donors and the hard work of a long line of dedicated Foundation Directors, has positively impacted the lives of many young amateur radio operator students. Being awarded an ARRL Foundation scholarship could mean the difference in whether a student can pursue their education in 2024-2025 or not.
Make sure every amateur radio operator student in your area knows this is available, and start that application process TODAY! And, if they need a reference, please be sure to contact me, N5HZR.
Clubs
Amateur radio clubs are the backbone of the hobby. The tremendous local hams have good information, and as Elmers or mentors love to share it. Send something that your club is doing well to me n5hzr@arrl.org, and I’ll feature your club in this newsletter. Most clubs have seen an increase in new member activity during the pandemic.
