FOUNDATION FOR AMATEUR RADIO SOLICITS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

THE FOUNDATION FOR AMATEUR RADIO, INC., a non-profit organization with
headquarters in Washington, D.C., plans to administer forty eight (48)
scholarships for the academic year 2009 - 2010.  The Foundation,
composed of over seventy-five local area Amateur Radio Clubs, fully
funds two of these scholarships.  The remaining forty-eight (48) are
administered by the Foundation without cost to the various donors.

Licensed Radio Amateurs may compete for these awards if they plan to
pursue a full-time course of studies beyond high school and are
enrolled in or have been accepted for enrollment at an accredited
university, college or technical school.  The awards range from $5,000
to $500 with preference given in some cases to residents of specified
geographical areas or the pursuit of certain study programs.  Non-USA
residents are eligible to apply for some of the scholarships.  Clubs,
especially those in California, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin (areas of preferred residence for some of
the scholarships), are encouraged to announce these opportunities at
their meetings, in their club newsletters, during training classes, on
their nets and on their world wide web home pages.
