Below is a detailed summary of the ARDC
grant award. Note that this does not preclude us from making
additional applications for ARDC grants in the future, but
recognize that this was a large award for them.
Scholarships
$1,522,500
This will fund $500,000 of scholarship
awards for three years in 2024, 2025, and 2026 plus
administrative costs. These scholarships will be administered
as in prior years.
Club
Grants $592,322
This is $500,000 for club grants plus
administrative costs. This funds another round of club grants
in 2024 utilizing the existing criteria and process for award
determination.
Education &
Technology $36,875
This represents initial funding of $36,875
to support several hundred students with educational kits.
Teachers who have attended ARRL Teachers Institute are
eligible to apply for STEM kits for their classrooms. These
kits will allow students to participate in project based
learning through the use of electronics kits, microcontroller
kits, and a Geochron for the classroom. We are hoping this
small scale initiative is successful for future rounds of
funding.

David;
Is this $2M spread over 3 years, or
per year? Also, what is the breakdown of what percentage
is earmarked for HQ’s Teachers Institute vs Foundation
Scholarships vs Foundation Club Grants?
Who decides what goes where, and when
will this decision be made?
