every act of volunteerism through amateur radio, even a small one, helps turn
the world into a better place," said Vicki Zumwalt, N6KLS, President of YLRL.
"We hope that our scholarships will not only encourage students to learn more
about science, technology, and engineering but also inspire them to take pride
in being an amateur radio operator and to encourage others to do so as well."

The YLRL believes that education in the fields or radio, communications,
electronics, and amateur-related arts and sciences will play an important role
in shaping the world's future. Through these memorial scholarships, YLRL hopes
