Alaska scholarships and state aid
These are restricted to Alaska residents specifically. It's the kind of local award that's easy to miss because it's never on the big national scholarship sites.
Most scholarships on this site have no state restriction at all, so it's worth also browsing the full list regardless of where you live. Know of a local Alaska scholarship, through a school, Rotary club, or church, that isn't listed here? Let us know.
