Welcome to the ARRL Foundation's Web pages!
The ARRL Foundation is devoted to providing valuable programs to serve the ham community, whether those served are ARRL members or not, prospective hams, or old timers. Programs include scholarships, grants, and services to community groups, all levels of licensed hams and family members. We have frequent interaction with the resources of those offering secondary and baccalaureate educational instruction, service to the disabled community or public service agencies.

The ARRL Foundation Scholarship Program can help hams, either young students or career-changers with a full range of scholarship awards. No pocketbook is exempt from the high-cost of schooling, but an Amateur Radio license has value beyond the fun and excitement of hamming--it's your key to help with meeting those tuition costs.
The Victor C. Clark Youth Incentive Program is a program of $1000 minigrants to youth groups seeking money for Amateur Radio experiments, exhibits, station hardware acquisitions, and school/community station startup costs, is popular among school and youth clubs and community disabled services organizations.
The Jesse Bieberman Meritorious Membership Program offers a one-year membership extension to ARRL members of 25 years or more who are elderly and or disabled hams.
The General Fund Grants Program provides money for large scale Amateur Radio projects such as satellites, SAREX, high-profile museum displays, emergency disaster communication and ARRL-specific projects for educational, promotional or organizational purposes.

The ARRL Foundation is managed by a team of volunteer Directors, none of whom are paid for their services. All are active hams who are as passionate about the hobby as they are devoted to promoting its growth and perpetuation.
...and for supporting our programs...for the advancement of Amateur Radio.
