ARRL Charles Clarke Cordle Memorial Scholarship

I am going to discuss some general factors that may be considered:

• Field of Study: The scholarship is typically open to students pursuing an education in fields related to amateur radio or electronics communications. This can include disciplines such as electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer science, radio broadcasting, or other areas associated with radio technology and communication. 
• Amateur Radio Involvement: The scholarship program may prioritize applicants who are actively involved in amateur radio activities. This can include holding an amateur radio license, participating in amateur radio clubs or organizations, volunteering for amateur radio events or initiatives, or demonstrating a strong interest in the amateur radio community.
• Personal Statement/Essay: Applicants may be asked to submit a personal statement or essay describing their interest in amateur radio, their educational and career goals, and how the scholarship would support their aspirations in the field of radio communications.
• Recommendations: The scholarship program may require applicants to provide letters of recommendation from teachers, amateur radio operators, or individuals who can speak to their involvement in the amateur radio community, academic abilities, and potential for success.
• Financial Need: A few scholarships may consider financial need as a factor in the selection process. Applicants may be required to provide information about their family’s income, assets, and other financial circumstances. The program may prioritize students with limited financial resources.
