The program is funded through donations from individuals and organizations and is open to any youth under the age of 18. Scholarships are awarded on a funds-available basis. If the Scholarship Fund is depleted, awards will be suspended until additional funds are received.

Within 30 days of the FCC issuing or upgrading the youth’s amateur radio license, the applicant must complete an online scholarship application confirming their identity and eligibility for reimbursement.

The scholarship covers:

• The license examination administration fee
• The FCC license application fee (for new licensees only)
