ARDC Scholarships

ARDC partners with organizations like ARRL, Society of Women Engineers, and universities that serve underserved groups to provide scholarships to students pursuing technical degrees. These scholarship programs make selections based on a mix of need and merit, and many students write to us to let us know that they would not be able to attend college without scholarship assistance.

ARDC Manages 44Net

44Net is shorthand for Internet network 44 (44.0.0.0/9, 44.128.0.0/10), also known as AMPRNet. Since its allocation to amateur radio in the mid-1980s, the network has been used by amateur radio operators to conduct scientific research and to experiment with digital communications over radio.
