Higher Education Scholarship Program
Sun’aq tribal members can apply to this scholarship program for a secondary source of financial aid. The individual must attend an accredited college or university full-time or part-time, pursuing an AA or BA, and enroll for at least six credits. All students must maintain good academic standing to receive renewed funding. Scholarships are for $3,600 and are awarded twice yearly.
Application deadlines are June 15th and November 15th of each year. Students must actively pursue other funding resources before they can be considered. To apply, download an application form or contact us for a hard-copy. Fifteen scholarships were awarded in 2002.
Johnson O’Malley Cultural and Educational Program (JOM)
Alaska Native youths and community members living in the Kodiak area can take part in workshops, classes, and summer outdoor camps on Kodiak Island and nearby islands during which they learn about Alutiiq’ history, technologies, and arts. Local Native artisans instruct children how to fish, skin seals, bead, weave baskets, sew skins, make and play drums, perform traditional dances, tell stories, and carry out many other traditional cultural activities. Look for year-round classes for children from age three to 12th graders at our Alutiiq Cultural Center, which is part of the Cama’i Cafe. For more information about our classes and scholarships for summer outdoor camps, please contact us.
