Dr. John Halligan Scholarship Fund

The Dr. John Halligan Scholarship Fund, administered by the Alaska Community Foundation, supports students who are pursuing a career in the healthcare sector. This program is specifically designed for individuals who have graduated from an Alaska high school and are enrolled in or planning to attend the University of Alaska to pursue a medical focused degree.

The scholarship helps cover educational expenses associated with obtaining a degree in a medical field. To apply, students must complete the single online application portal provided by the Alaska Community Foundation, which matches applicants with various scholarship opportunities based on their educational background and goals. While this program is merit- and career-focused, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate financial need, which can be a common requirement or consideration for many foundation awards. For current deadlines, applicants should consult the official page.
