The Austin Amateur Radio Club is proud to support the next generation of innovators, communicators, engineers, and community leaders through scholarship programs for students in Central Texas.

Amateur Radio develops practical skills that extend far beyond the radio itself — including engineering, problem solving, emergency communications, public service, leadership, and lifelong learning. Through these scholarships, AARC invests in students who are building the future of technology and community service.

Whether you’re pursuing engineering, computer science, public service, healthcare, skilled trades, or another field of study, AARC scholarships help students continue their education while recognizing achievement, service, and involvement in Amateur Radio. Students are encouraged to apply to all scholarships for which they are eligible.
