Art Jess Scholarship Fund

The Art Jess Scholarship Fund, administered by the Alaska Community Foundation, supports Alaskan residents who are pursuing post-secondary education. The program is designed to be highly inclusive, assisting students at all educational levels. This includes those enrolled in vocational programs, trade schools, community colleges, and traditional four-year universities. Eligible applicants can be attending their chosen institution on either a full-time or part-time basis.

To be considered for this scholarship, students must complete the foundation's common online application. This single application portal matches applicants with various funding opportunities based on their educational background and experience. While the provider does not require a specific state financial aid application to determine eligibility for this particular fund, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA to establish overall financial need. Scholarship recipients can use the awarded funds to help cover the tuition and educational expenses associated with their post-secondary program.
