## About this scholarship

The Juneau Community Foundation administers the Alma Harris Scholarship Fund to support local youth pursuing higher education. This program is designed for a high school student in the community who is preparing to transition to college. Established by Don and Alma Harris, the fund honors Alma's legacy as a dedicated educator who inspired students through literature, mentorship, and extracurricular activities. The scholarship helps cover the costs associated with attending an undergraduate program. Applicants must submit their materials directly to the foundation, as the selection process is managed locally and does not run through the federal FAFSA or state financial aid applications. Candidates should review the application instructions to ensure they submit all required documents, which may include academic records or personal statements reflecting the values of mentorship and community involvement. The completed application package is DUE APRIL 21.
