The deadline to apply for an ARRL scholarship to be given in 2026 is fast approaching. Applicants have until noon on December 30th.

The ARRL Foundation makes more than 150 scholarships available in amounts ranging from $500 to $25,000. Recipients must be active, FCC-licensed young radio operators.

Different scholarships have different criteria, however, and some awards, such as the Amateur Radio Digital Communications scholarships, are available to active licensed hams outside of the US.

There are also three 10-10 Scholarships available to all radio amateurs who are not necessarily US citizens, residents nor holders of a US license.
