Ok this is somewhat unrelated but these two questions have been bugging me for a while (perhaps years). Why is it that, besides being blind or gay/bisexual, people with amateur radio licenses can nab a ridiculous amount of college scholarships? (When I first started applying to college, you wouldn't believe the number of scholarships for people in amateur radio I would find. I couldn't and still don't understand why.) And another thing, for some reason in my state (Michigan) along with getting a special license plate to denote if you were a veteran of a past war or a POW, you can get a special plate that says amateur radio on it. (See a pic here: http://michigan.gov/documents/standard_collector_plate_application_49871_7.pdf) I guess I'm just surprised that you can do this? Maybe this "hobby" (sorry not sure what term to use here) is just a lot larger/more popular than I think it is?

FuzzyBuddha posted:In regards to scholarships, having attained an amateur radio license tends to show you have an understanding of electronics and the math related to it. A lot of the engineering students at our local campus tend to have ham radio licenses. Ah, ok. That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
