## About this scholarship

The Lucile Hope Special Education Scholarship is a program administered by the Alaska Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed specifically for students who are pursuing an education degree with a focus on K-12 education and special education. The program aims to support future educators as they prepare to work with students who have diverse learning needs in school systems. 

To apply, candidates use the foundation's online portal, which features a single application process that matches students with various funding opportunities based on their educational background and goals. While the foundation manages the application process, students should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish their overall financial need, as many academic aid programs utilize this data during the selection process.
