Scholarships

ARRL Foundation 50th Anniversary logoThis is why we hold the convention.

Your donations, and all proceeds from the convention go to the FEMARA scholarship fund at the ARRL Foundation, which helps students attend a college or trade school of their choice. The ARRL Foundation administers the perpetual fund. Each year the foundation scholarship committee meets to carefully review hundreds of applications received from remarkably talented young men and women. The foundation receives cash and stock donations from hams and their families worldwide which include bequests from living wills and trusts. Please consider helping this great undertaking.

For applications, write the ARRL Foundation, Newington, CT 06111 – When you donate to the foundation, please specify the FEMARA New England Fund!
