The South African Amateur Radio Development Trust has introduced an annual study grant for young licensed Radio Amateurs who wish to enter a University or University of Technology to study electronics and communication. 

The study grant will contribute R10 000 towards the first year of study. The aim of the study grant project is to encourage young radio amateurs to enter a career in communication and electronics.  

Most first year students find it difficult to raise enough funds to enter a University or University of Technology for the first time. Once completed the first year successfully there are  more opportunities to obtain another bursary or bank loan.

Applications for a student grant are now invited. Click here for the application form

Donate to the fund

Donors to the fund will be acknowledged on the Trust Study Grant webpage at www.amateurradio.org.za . Donors who contribute R15 000 will have a study grant named after them or their company.

 Contributions to the study grant fund can be made by direct deposit into the Trust account at ABSA, Menlyn Branch account number 560 142 722. Please mark the deposit study grant and send an email to saardt@intekom.co.za

SOUTH AFRICAN AMATEUR RADIO DEVELOPMENT TRUST STUDY GRANTS

The Trust invites  Radio Amateurs and companies to make a contribution to the study fund. The Trust has started the fund with its own R7500 contribution and hopes to raise a further R7500 to be able to award the first bursary for the 2009 academic year.

Currently with the sales of the Lightning Predictors donated by ZS6EF the fund stands at R10 000.
