Nick Begich Scholarship
|
The Nick Begich Scholarship Intern Fund was created in 1977 to carry on the ideals of the late Congressman Nicholas J. Begich from Alaska, who came to the state in 1956 as a teacher and believed that education was both a right and a privilege, one that must be available to all as a key to self-realization.
This year the Fund will be offering both Fellowship/Intern and Scholarship applications. Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $2,000. Any Alaska resident pursuing a degree in education, government, or public service is eligible to apply. There is no age limitation on Scholarship applications. Apply here.
The deadline to apply is February 28, 2013.

Alaska Points of Light Youth Leadership Institute
|
Are you an Alaskan youth aged 14-24? Are you interested in bringing positive change to our community? Would you like to join a core group of young Alaskans who encourage their peers to make positive and healthy choices? If so becoming a Youth Wellness Ambassador can give you the tools to get you started!
iknowmine and the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (ANDVSA) are pairing up to launch a brand-new program for all Alaskan youth ages 14-24 to help them create positive and healthy changes in their communities.
Youth Wellness Ambassadors are awesome, motivated individuals who have a great idea or the drive to promote healthy, positive change in their communities. This could look like setting up a movie night about anti-bullying or giving out safe sex supplies to older teens in your community or hanging up healthy messaging posters in your local clinic.
Ambassadors must be residents of Alaska living outside of the Anchorage/Mat-Su area between the ages of 14-24. Those under 18 must have parental permission. All applicants must have a letter of support from an adult sponsor. Apply here. You can contact Taija Revels (907) 729-3927 or tnrevels@anthc.org with any questions you have.
Deadline to apply is February 22nd, 2013.
