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.

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? 73; Mike W7VO Sent from my iPhone, utilizing a very tiny keyboard fed from very fat fingers On Dec 7, 2023, at 8:19 AM, Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) <dminster@arrl.org<mailto:dminster@arrl.org>> wrote: We have worked with ARDC on the joint press release and have posted it on the website. http://www.arrl.org/news/ardc-and-arrl-announce-2-1-million-for-the-next-gen...
