ARRL Youth Licensing Grant Program Information
The ARRL Youth Licensing Grant Program, in effect since April 19, 2022, covers the one-time $35 application fee for new license candidates younger than 18-years old for tests administered under the ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (ARRL VEC) program.
The $35 FCC application fee will be reimbursed after the ARRL VEC receives the completed reimbursement form and the new license has been issued by the FCC. The reimbursement check will be mailed to the fee payer.
Additionally, candidates younger than 18-years old would pay a reduced exam session fee of $5 to the ARRL VEC VE team at the time of the exam. The $5 fee is for all candidates under the age of 18 regardless of the exam level taken. Proof of under 18 status is required at the session (what to bring to an exam session). The program is sponsored by ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio®.

The Loans You Didn’t Know Existed: No-Doc Loans for Primary Residences and Second Homes
Mike Burnett Presents: Community Mortgage™
Income and Employment Not Stated – Primary Residence Financing
In today’s world of endless paperwork, rigid underwriting, and cookie-cutter loan programs, many qualified borrowers are often locked out of opportunities — not because they lack creditworthiness, but because their income structure doesn’t fit traditional molds.
Enter the Community Mortgage™ — a revolutionary lending solution for primary residences that reintroduces common-sense underwriting and eliminates unnecessary paperwork.
If you’ve been told you don’t qualify for a traditional mortgage because you’re self-employed, semi-retired, or have complex financials, it’s time to discover a better way.
A Return to Common Sense Underwriting
The Community Mortgage™ breaks the mold by focusing on what matters: credit strength, assets, and responsible borrowing history — not endless stacks of income documents or employment verifications.
It’s about trust, flexibility, and opening the door to homeownership for prime borrowers who deserve it.
Unlike conventional or even "alternative documentation" loans, the Community Mortgage™ does not require:
Income statements
Employment verification
Tax returns
Pay stubs
Instead, it uses assets, credit scores, and property value to make lending decisions.

You are retired or semi-retired with substantial assets
You have strong credit but prefer privacy regarding income
You have large cash reserves or significant home equity
Important Distinctions
Unlike “stated income” loans of the past, the Community Mortgage™ still focuses on responsible lending. Lenders verify assets and credit health, ensuring the borrower is financially capable without invasive proof of income.
It's a smarter, safer evolution of the no-doc lending concept.
