2025 ARRL Foundation Scholarships – Final Weeks to Apply
The ARRL Foundation Scholarship Program continues to accept applications for the 2025 scholarship cycle. The application period is open until 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on January 6, 2025. The scholarships are available to eligible amateur radio operators pursuing higher education. There are more than 100 scholarships ranging from $500 to $25,000.
The scholarships have been established by generous donors and can help fund a portion of a ham’s education. Descriptions of the scholarships may be found at www.arrl.org/scholarship-descriptions.
ARRL Director of Development Kevin Beal, K8EAL, is encouraged by the . “Hams are always learning, and being able to honor that dedication to education through generously funded scholarship programs helps relieve some of the financial burden that students can experience,” he said.
All applicants must submit a completed online application. Transcripts and any additional required documents must be submitted with the application and not emailed separately. A number of scholarships require additional documents, such as a letter of recommendation from a sitting officer of an ARRL-affiliated club. Applications without accompanying transcripts and additional required documents (if applicable) will not be considered. Scholarship recipients will be notified by early June 2025. Awards are mailed directly to recipients’ schools and will be awarded in July 2025.
