The ARRL Foundation scholarship application period for the academic year
2021 ends on December 31, 2020. I am asking you as a Division Director to notify your Division membership of the deadline. The Foundationissued nearly $300,000 in scholarships for 2020 and for the academic year 2021 there has been a significant increase in the number of large
dollar scholarships available thanks to a generous contribution from the Amateur Radio Digital Communication group (ARDC).
For the academic year 2021, there are two new $25,000 scholarships, thirteen $10,000 scholarships, nine $5,000 scholarships as well as dozens of $1,000 and $500 scholarships.
A description of the many scholarships available is on line.

It is also very easy to apply as scholarship applications are on line.

Since only amateur radio operator students may apply, the chances of being selected for a scholarship are good. It would be a shame for your members to miss this opportunity. Please place a notice in your
December Newsletter or send a separate E-Mail to your Division to let your members know that the ARRL Foundation offers over 100 scholarships
and it only takes a simple online application to apply.
Since 1973, the ARRL Foundation, with the generosity of many donors and the hard work of a long line of dedicated Foundation Directors, has had a positive impact on the lives of many young amateur radio operator students. To ensure that this positive impact does not wane, I ask each of you to timely notify your members of this opportunity. Being awarded an ARRL Foundation scholarship could mean the difference in whether a student can pursue their education in 2021 or not.
Thank you and the Foundation and I wish all of you
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Dr David Woolweaver, K5RAV
President, ARRL Foundation
