The mission of the funder is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage and subsistence lifestyle of the Bristol Bay region and its people. It aims to sustain and celebrate the rich traditions, knowledge, and practices passed down through generations in Southwest Alaska, emphasizing the connection to the land, waters, plants, and animals, as described by the Alutiiq people's concept of "Unguwacirpet."
The Higher Education Scholarship Program is designed to support students from the Bristol Bay region pursuing 4-year or advanced degree programs on a full- or part-time basis. The program focuses on enhancing education by providing scholarships based on academic achievements, leadership qualities, and life experiences. This initiative aims to empower students academically and professionally for the betterment of their communities and the preservation of their cultural heritage. The application deadline is set in April each year for the subsequent academic year.
