ExplanationTHE ARRL FOUNDATION GENERALLY AWARDS INITIAL FUNDING TO ORGANIZATIONS FOR NEW AMATEUR RADIO RELATED PROJECTS. THE FUNDING AWARDS RANGE FROM $1,000 TO $4,000, WITH MOST AWARDS APPROXIMATELY $2,000. THE FOUNDATION RARELY AWARDS FOLLOW UP GRANTS. THE FOCUS OF THE GRANT PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT AMATEUR RADIO ORGANIZATIONS WITH PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE, LICENSE AND SUPPORT AMATEUR RADIO ACTIVITIES WITH EMPHASIS ON YOUTH-BASED ACTIVITIES. THE REVIEW PROCESS FOR GRANT PROPOSALS TAKES 8 TO 10 WEEKS. PROPOSALS ARE SENT TO A FOUR-MEMBER GRANTS COMMITTEE THAT MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL FOUNDATION BOARD. A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE FULL BOARD IS REQUIRED FOR GRANT APPROVAL. THE GRANTS COMMITTEE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS OR SEEK CLARIFICATIONS FROM APPLICANTS. RESPONSES TO SUCH INQUIRIES ARE REQUIRED IN WRITING (VIA EMAIL) BEFORE THE REVIEW PROCESS IS FINALIZED AND THE PROPOSAL IS SUBMITTED FOR BOARD VOTE. GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE ARRL FOUNDATION WITH PROGRESS REPORTS AND FINAL REPORTS ON THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, DETAILING THE RESULTS AND IMPACT OF THE PROJECT, AND A FINAL FINANCIAL REPORT. THE ARRL FOUNDATION AWARDS ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFIED APPLICANTS. EACH SCHOLARSHIP HAS DISTINCT QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND IS PREFUNDED THROUGH DONATIONS AND EARNINGS ON THOSE DONATIONS. RECIPIENTS OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE DETERMINED BY THE ARRL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE AFTER A RIGOROUS REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. MOST SCHOLARSHIPS HAVE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS AREA OF STUDY AND/OR REGIONAL CRITERIA, AS DICTATED BY THE DONOR IN THE TERMS OF REFERENCE WHEN THE SCHOLARSHIP WAS CREATED. SCHOLARSHIPS, WITH ONE EXCEPTION, ARE MERIT BASED AND THE MOST QUALIFIED RECIPIENT(S) IS SELECTED BASED ON THESE REQUIREMENTS. MEMBERS OF THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE ARE APPOINTED ANNUALLY BY THE ARRL FOUNDATION BOARD PRESIDENT. THE ARRL FOUNDATION AWARDS MORE THAN 80 SCHOLARSHIPS ANNUALLY. MONETARY AWARDS ARE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE EDUCATIONAL FACILITY THE RECIPIENT WILL ATTEND.ExplanationTxt
