Scholarships for the 2009 - 2010 Academic Year

As was the case last year, the FAR Scholarship application form is being supplied as a PDF form file. This form gives you two options:

1. You may fill out the form electronically using either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (free download to view .pdf files), then print it out for signature
2. Or, you may simply print the blank form and fill it out by hand.

We encourage you to use the electronic completion method to ensure the legibility of the completed document.

Either way, you are required to submit a paper copy of the form, complete with the required signatures.

If you choose to fill out the form electronically, please note the following instructions:

• The tab key will take you to each successive blank requiring input.
• Simply click on the check boxes to select them. If you check a box in error, simply click it again to clear the check mark.
• A number of items allow multiple line answers, but you will have to tab to the next line as you fill each line.
• Question 37 on page 5 contains blanks and drop down boxes for you to use in filling in your personal eligibility information. (Note that the table provides a simple means for use to determine whether you are, in fact, eligible for any particular scholarship.)
• Once you have completed the form, please print it out. A signed, paper copy of the form is the only valid form of submission.

You are no longer required to mark which scholarships you believe you are eligible for; however, you must fill out the chart (question #37) at the bottom of page 5 to be considered for scholarships.

If you have questions about, or problems with use of the electronic form, please contact Dave Prestel, W8AJR, at dave.prestel@gmail.com or by phone at (410) 552-2652.

You will need to download both the documents below, as both are needed to properly complete the application. Save each document to your computer by right clicking and choosing "Save link/target as...".
