Due in large part to the generous support of this program by businesses and community leaders, exclusive academic and travel awards can be offered to our students.

These awards acknowledge our students’ academic achievements as well as their strong commitment to the program and industry through participation in experiential learning and extracurricular activities.

Academic awards are available to provide tuition assistance for students, while travel awards are used to further connect students to the industry through opportunities like attending national education conferences held by the industry’s leading professional organizations.

Contact Terry Fields at tjfields@alaska.edu for award information and application deadlines.

Donors interested in supporting the program and providing more opportunities for students should contact Julia Martinez at jamartinez@alaska.edu.



The application period is currently OPEN
