Post-Secondary Education Scholarships

The deadline for the post-secondary scholarship application is April 3, 2009. The number of applicants has steadily increased over the years, making the process more competitive for the limited amount of funding. Approximately 120 students applied for higher/vocational education scholarships for the 2008-09 school year. Applications for this program are reviewed only once a year after the deadline and awards are for the following school year.

The 2009-10 scholarship application is available at the For Students section of the Education Foundation website. If you want an application by mail, contact Luanne Pelagio at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 907.278.3602 or 1.800.426.3602.
