The West Allis Radio Amateur Club has awarded over $66,000 in Scholarships to qualified radio amateurs
since 1988. One WARAC David Knaus Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually and in 2022 the amount
was increased to $3000. See list of past recipients below.
These scholarships are funded largely by an endowment established by WARAC for this purpose.
