Alaska Scholarships
Living or studying in Alaska qualifies you for scholarships that most students never see: statewide awards restricted to AK residents, where the applicant pool is a fraction of any national contest. These verified awards sit on top of the national scholarships and Alaska's own state aid programs, so treat them as one layer of a larger funding plan.

Common questions
How many Alaska scholarships are there?
Award Scholar currently lists 1 verified scholarships for Alaska students, with amounts and deadlines checked against each sponsor's official page. The median award is around $10,000, and the largest reaches $10,000.
What Alaska financial aid exists beyond scholarships?
Alaska runs its own aid programs, including Alaska Performance Scholarship and Alaska Education Grant, administered by Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education. File the FAFSA (Alaska Education Grant: as soon as possible after the FAFSA opens (funds are limited). Alaska Performance Scholarship: June 30, 2026 for priority consideration.) to unlock them, then stack private scholarships on top. See the full Alaska financial aid guide for deadlines and eligibility.
Can Alaska students also win national scholarships?
Yes. Statewide awards restrict the applicant pool to Alaska residents, which improves your odds, but they are one layer. Most winning students combine state-restricted awards, national scholarships that match their profile, and state aid.
