==> ARRL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS DUE FEBRUARY 1
The deadline for ARRL Foundation scholarship applications is February 1,
2008. Applications must be postmarked on or before February 1 and must
include the student's most recent transcript. The Foundation continues
to grow every year as new awards are added -- four new scholarships have
been added for 2008. This year, the Foundation expects to award up to 60
general scholarships ranging in amounts from $500 to $2500.
The most prestigious Foundation scholarship is the William R. Goldfarb
Memorial Scholarship, awarded to one high school senior each year. After
the student has received all financial aid he or she is qualified for,
other scholarships and awards and family contributions, the Goldfarb
Scholarship will cover any remaining expenses (room and board, tuition,
fees and books) for a four-year undergraduate curriculum at an
accredited university in one of the following courses of study:
business-related computers, medical or nursing fields, engineering or
sciences. This award to an active radio amateur is based on outstanding
qualifications, need and other funding sources. The Goldfarb Scholarship
is the result of a generous endowment from the late William Goldfarb,
N2ITP. Before his death in 1997, Goldfarb set up a scholarship endowment
of close to $1 million in memory of his parents, Albert and Dorothy
Goldfarb....
ARRL Chief Development Officer and Foundation Secretary Mary Hobart,
K1MMH, said, "Providing scholarships to young hams who pursue higher
education is one of the most rewarding activities of the ARRL
Foundation. The expressions of gratitude from scholarship winners and
their families make it clear that the awards are contributing directly
to their success and to the future of Amateur Radio."
